Weekly Inspiration :: Passion

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer.

Always remember you have within you

the strength,

the patience,

and the passion

to reach for the stars

to change the world."

~ Harriet Tubman

Passion is the best driving force. Allowing ourselves to follow our passions is one

of the most important things in life. Whatever drives you to be the best version of yourself that you can be, whatever keeps you going at the worst possible moments, whatever that one thing is that makes you truly happy, the best thing you can do for yourself is to pour yourself into your passions.

Allow yourself to dream larger than life, and use your passion to make those dreams come true.

Getting to Know Our Designers :: Epice

When customers come into the store looking for a little something extra

to brighten up their outfit, we love showing them beautiful scarves from Epice. Each piece is a wearable work of art, with beautiful and whimsical prints that inspire a Parisian-like chicness for the wearer.

Bess Nielson, co-founder and Creative Director of Epice, graduated from The Design School in Copenhagen, and then combined her design skills with her love of Indian art and textiles (along with some inspiration from her many years living in France), to create the Epice line of scarves, bags, and sweaters. Using a Scandinavian approach to her designs, Nielson created a purposeful, simple, and elegant line of easy-to-wear accessories that are coveted the world over.

Jan Machenhauer, co-founder and designer for Epice, also received his education at the Design School in Copenhagen, and collaborated with Bess on numerous projects before founding Epice with her in 1999. Jan heads the Epice design team in Copenhagen, and applies his keen eye for detail, as well as an obsession with perfection to the line.

We love the versatility of Epice scarves, from a pant suit to jeans and a favorite t-shirt. The artistic prints and beautiful linen and silk textiles provide a sense of everyday luxury.

Getting to know our designers: Lizzie Fortunato - McMullen exclusive Q&A

About Lizzie Fortunato
Lizzie Fortunato Jewels is a NYC-based accessories line designed by Elizabeth ("Lizzie") Fortunato and operated by her twin sister, Kathryn. The Wilmington, Delaware natives moved to NYC after college and were soon being commissioned by fashion editors and designers for their signature statement necklaces and perfectly layered bracelets.
Lizzie's bold jewelry fuses found, reclaimed, and precious materials in fashion forward silhouettes. The collections have been featured on the pages of Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar (who twice recognized the line as 'one of the world's most promising accessories lines').

McMullen Q&A with Lizzie & Kathryn: We asked this fabulous design duo a few questions about their Spring / Summer collection, what keeps them inspired and their favorite spring indulgence!

What was your inspiration for the recent collection?
SS12 was inspired by mid-century American architecture,
particularly the Eames House and Edward Neutra's Kaufmann Desert House
in Palm Springs, California. These architects perfectly fused practicality
and high design which was our goal for SS12, to create signature, Lizzie-esque statement necklaces that were also effortless and practical.
The Palm Springs influence also affected the palate for SS12 --
you'll see lots of peaches, sandy colors, and wood tones.

How do you stay motivated and inspired ?
I have a regular morning routine of some serious blog perusing over coffee.
It gets me inspired to see the work of fellow friends, artists, illustrators,
editors, musicians and designers and starts my day off right.
I have recently started my own blog and its a great way to channel my energy
in other ways than pure design -- it's a perfect mix of diary, mood board
and story telling for me!

What are you most excited about in fashion & accessories right now?
I love all the muted colors for spring. I feel like I have a lot of "dusty rose"
in my closet right now, perfect for with our SS12 collection - especially
the Case Study I and Mesa necklaces. (see below)
