All about: the Bird & Knoll X Zoe & Morgan collab
In what must be the dream collab, two of my absolute
favourite brands have come together to create something very special.
Luxe scarf brand Bird & Knoll has collaborated with
fellow luxury brand Zoe & Morgan, to bring you three lightweight travel
scarves that are the perfect accessory for your own adventures.
Anyone that follows me on Instagram (mshelene99) would know
that I am a huge fan of Bird & Knoll - their scarves are the ultimate in
highly practical, beautifully affordable luxe, and I have begun a collection
that I know I’ll still be head over heels in love with for years to come.
A truly Trans-Tasman duo, Bird and Knoll are Natalie Knoll
and Macayla Chapman, an old work mate of mine from many years ago. The pair is
a match made in heaven, and has created some truly original and coveted pieces
that seem deceptive in their simplicity.
I’m also obsessed by the preternaturally fabulous Zoe &
Morgan jewellery collection, and own more pieces of their work than I’d care to
name (sorry bank manager lady!). Their latest collection is inspired by a
recent trip by two of the siblings behind the label – Ruth and Zoe – to
Morocco, which is top of my bucket list and the most lust-worthy travel
destination. The end result is sheer perfection, and yep, I already have a
piece from it.
But back to the collab. A true meeting of creative minds,
the Bird & Knoll X Zoe & Morgan capsule collection features the
intricate ethnic shapes that inspire Zoe & Morgan’s jewellery, captured
through the lens of Bird & Knoll’s own personal Moroccan travel archives.
“We loved the idea of using our images to work alongside the
divine jewellery created by Zoe & Morgan, with a Moroccan connection in a
functional yet playful way. We decided that beautiful 100 per cent organic
cotton was the best ‘canvas’ for this fun and fashionable visual storytelling,”
explains Bird & Knoll’s Macayla. The versatile scarves present a myriad of
wearable options, from bohemian headscarf to sarong, summer neck scarf to beach
cover up.
Zoe & Morgan shot their latest campaign, ‘Castles Made
of Sand’ in the exotic mecca that is Marrakesh, using the collaboration scarves
as turbans and headscarves to accompany the inspired jewellery. “Poetic
Moroccan doorways have been translated into ring stackers, and tile patterns
have been reimagined as earrings,” explains Zoe of Zoe & Morgan on how the
landscape and intricacies of Morocco hinspired her latest collection.
The idea to collaborate came about when Zoe and Macayla were
introduced by a mutual friend who felt that the synergy between the brands and
the personalities was too great to ignore and thus a friendship started. After
a coffee date and exercise class the pair dreamed up a way to merge their
passions and create pieces to be worn to the beach or yoga class that tell a
tale of travel and inspiration.
A celebration of wanderlust, creativity and collaboration,
the Bird & Knoll X Zoe & Morgan capsule collection represents the
ultimate travel and adventure accessory, and comes in three exquisite forms:
new zealand | aotearoa to marrakech – The inspiration starts
early - An image of clouds from above on a journey from New Zealand to Morocco
morocco | luna lantern – The beauty is in the details - An
image of the intricate craftsmanship of a lantern in the Medina in Marrakesh
medina | architectural inspiration – Focusing on the local
characteristics - An image of the architectural details and patterns of an
archway in Morocco, jeweled tones and adorned beauty.
Needless to say, I want them ALL.
