The Shoot: Conscious Exclusive at the Palm House

updated on 2 Comments on The Shoot: Conscious Exclusive at the Palm House

This is probably my favourite dress from H&M’s new Conscious Exclusive collection, fronted by the beautiful Olivia Wilde. So where better to showcase such a stunning piece, from a collection all about sustainable resources and recycled material than the closest we Londoners are ever going to get to the rainforest, the Palm House at Kew Gardens. It seemed only right to showcase the dress in the very rainforest plants this collection is trying to preserve.

I have been meaning to do a shoot in Kew Gardens and their iconic Palm House ever since I moved to London four years ago. Somehow I never got around to it, so on a recent visit from my mum, a woman in love with gardening, we made an early trip out to Kew Gardens in the freezing cold and she managed to snap these pictures for me. I do love it when my mum does the photography, because they somehow come out more dramatic and wonderful than anything I usually do. So, thank you very much Mammy! 🙂

As for the outfit and the setting, with such a beautiful black and red dress, I only needed a couple of bracelets, my trusty Christian Louboutin pigalle heels and that would be enough for such a dramatic location. And I’m glad I scaled it down at bit as the images came out absolutely gorgeous. This is definitely one of my favourite shoots done in quite a while!

Eight years in, and still killing this fashion game. Now a mother, wife, professional-by-day and part-time blogger in between, I still love blogging, producing fashion shoots and curating this blog.
My interests lie in producing high editorial-style content, shooting in grand and unique locations, make-up shoots and doing more studio shoots that really push the boundaries.
I'm open to collaborations and ideas, so please message me.

I even done a shoot featuring one of the dresses on Saturday at Kew Gardens, which you can check out here. […]
