Ermie Collection 1, 2012


Jennifer has now posted all of the images from our Ermie Collection 1 shoot and the shop is officially open right now! I love her idea of ditching the season names and just numbering the collections, I’m going to take a page from her on that and probably do something similar for my upcoming jewelry line. These are some of my favorite photos.


Not to sound like a ridiculous sap, but I can honestly say this shoot was one of the funnest days in recent memory and I hold these ladies dear to my heart. It was less of a “job” and more of a creative sharing session of ideas and laughter. Jennifer is not only a talented designer, but a person with a good heart who is really awesome to work with – everything is stress free and smiling in photos is encouraged – which I love. I’m not sure how one could tell someone like Lauren to not flash that smile of hers, it would be a crime! On that note, meeting and working with Lauren and Beatrice was a treat as I am a fan of theirs already, and we all worked really well together. I also have to give a shout out as well to Jennifer’s awesome intern Jessica who kept things running smoothly. Thank you to everyone who has shared the images already!

I’m a huge, huge fan of Ermie/Jennifer, but my favorite part about this whole thing is the infectious energy clearly expressed in such an AMAZING collaboration. So many of us spend some much time alone in our studios working our tails off, and it is SO much fun when we get to work with other gung-ho women; it makes all these creative pursuits that much more rewarding.
Well done Kate, and well done all the gals behind this inventive, beautiful, colorful shoot. xoxo
