This week, we continue our celebration of the launch of Series 21, our new spring collection inspired by the garden. We speak with the extraordinary Jane Scotter, the founder of Fern Verrow, a biodynamic farm at the foothills of the Black Mountains in England, who cultivates exquisite florals and fruit, produce and herbs, guided by both the scientific and spiritual forces of nature.
My new collection, Series 21, celebrates spring with fresh colors, floral prints, and flowing lines that extend farther than ever before.
At the core of this Series is nature's fluidity and strength, its resiliency through its flexibility. We can embrace this contrast - an inner strength that lets our glamour and grace emanate purely, naturally.

Choreographer and dancer Simone Forti is the subject of a new retrospective at MOCA honoring her pioneering work. In this week's Journal, we find inspiration in her elevation of understated gestures and her sculptural, minimalist forms.
In this liminal moment—as winter changes to spring, and as we emerge from a nesting into a blooming state—we can nurture both body and mind through the transition by sheltering our personal, sacred, space.
