Collection IV
Behind the Scenes with Photographer CAROLINA MARIANA Rodríguez
A dreamy shoot with one of our all-time favorites, Carolina Mariana Rodríguez. We love the way she captured both the dreamy nature of Collection IV – and our surroundings, an amazing modern house on Lake Michigan. Once again, we assembled a complete dream team to get the job done. Here are some snapshots from that day.xo JEUNE OTTE
ABOUT COLLECTION IV
During the design process, Heiji Black and Elise Bergman went back to their familial roots, Korea and Scandinavia respectively, to create a capsule featuring a muted color palette inspired by nature: whites, soft gray, blues, wheat, lavender and rose. Relaxed and easy silhouettes in soft or crisp linens, white lace, classic stripes, soft cottons, and bright silk. These are pieces imagined for the coast, where the mountains meet ocean, for sitting under an old growth tree, or for strolling through a field of flowers, all landscapes common to both Korea and Scandanavia.
Design details and inspiration taken from vintage designs from Prada, Chloé, Jil Sander, Kenzo, while traditional Korean hanbok and Midsommar dress ideas trickle through the collection. A delicate tiered maxi dress, a wide legged linen jumpsuit, a minimal cross back tank top, a patchwork mini dress, a chiffon pleated wrap dress, these are all pieces that can be effortlessly worn from beachside to al fresco dinner party. Consistent with the codes of the Jeune Otte brand, each piece is easy, luxurious, versatile and timeless.
