MODERN LEGACY x casper&pearl

This year saw us launch the 'Sisterhood of the Travelling Shorts' campaign where one pair of our pink one-size-fits-all 'Traveller' shorts were sent around Australia to our favourite fashion bloggers. The calibre was high, the outfits were gorgeous and the notes were heart-felt. We're so happy with the outcome of the campaign and how much we've raised so far for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. These shorts are still on sale in our online store and 100% of profts are donated. This image and letter are definitely one of our favourites, by Kaitlyn of Modern Legacy.

Please give back and have a fun new pair of shorts to say thankyou! www.casperandpearl.com/shorts

We also sent off some casper&pearl goodies to the Jenner sisters which was quite an amazing feeling! So many exciting things planned over the last months of 2012, make sure you follow us at @casperandpearl to see our Instagram uploads.

Upcoming Designer Showcase.

Last Friday we set off to the sunny state of Queensland to take part in the Upcoming Designer Showcase! We had such an amazing time getting to know some of QLD's best models and fashion labels. Ten of our latest looks were strutted down the runway amongst designs by Niki Teljega, Saucy Rose, Eva Q and many more! It was such an honour to take part in such a prestigous event, and thanks so much to all of our supporters who came!

the faces of c&p.

We caught up with the S/S c&p girls and quizzed them on style, summer and what it feels like to be the faces of our label!

What makes you a c&p girl?
Meg: c&p is feminine, sweet, summery, youthful and caring which reminds me a lot of myself. I love soft colours and all things floral!
Geneva: I'm a c&p girl because their clothing is my idea of perfection; sweet summer dresses and beautiful floral prints are what I want to wear all year round.

What's your ideal outfit for a hot summers day?
Meg: Soft textiles that feature floral patterns and pastel colours. Pieces with lace detailing keep it fun, feminine and sweet.
Geneva: Something feminine, floral, and maybe a little bit flirty.

How does it feel to be one of the faces of c&p S/S?
Meg: Super exciting! It means I get sneak peeks of upcoming styles and collections. It’s also amazing that I am partly representing a highly developing, popular and successful clothing line. I had someone approach me on the street and asked me if I did the modelling for the new C&P range which felt pretty cool!
Geneva: I feel so blessed. The c&p brand makes me feel feminine and pretty. I'm so happy to represent such an amazing clothing line as we come into another beautiful Australian summer.

What's your favourite casper&pearl piece?
Meg: I love the 'Traveller' Shorts, the idea of sending 100% of profits made to the National Breast Cancer Foundation is something quite amazing as it is helping those in need. Most of all they are very pretty and perfect for summer.
Geneva: Without a doubt, the 'First Love' bustier is my favourite c&p item. My pale pink bustier with lacey shoulder straps is so sweet and easy to match with anything, while my floral one is cute and fun to wear, and a just a little bit attention grabbing.

'Sisterhood of the Travelling Shorts'

The 'Sisterhood of the Travelling Shorts' campaign was launched last month and so far we've been able to raise hundreds of dollars for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. These shorts are available from www.casperandpearl.com/shorts for $60, and 100% gets donated.
The campaign was inspired by the story 'The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants' where a magical pair of jeans were sent around to four different friends during their summer with handwritten notes about what amazing adventures they got up to in them. There is something so magical about this story and about how a piece of clothing can make you feel so special and bring girl friends together. One pair of our 'Traveller' shorts have been on a journey around Australia between some of our favourite fashion bloggers, where they styled it to their liking, snapped up some pictures and wrote us a little note about what they got up to that day they wore them. And to make this story even better, the shorts are one size fits all! Talk about magical!

Yay! What a month it's been at the c&p HQ! We finally launched our 'Are We There Yet' S/S collection which featured our 'First Love' bustier (which sold out overnight) and our new 'Heart Breaker' bustier.

SARAH DAVIES.

We recently shot our first seasonal campaign for A/W 2013, and what an exciting adventure it's been so far! Although the launch of this collection is months away, we caught up with the casper&pearl girl for A/W 2013 and asked her a few questions. This sweet, brown-eyed beauty is the epitomy of the c&p girl, with her long wild hair and fun bubbly personality! We not only love to design beautiful clothing for you're wardrobes, but we also love to tell stories through each collection and stand for something more. Which is why it was so important to us to find the perfect girl which embodied all that casper&pearl stands for. Get to know this fresh face a little bit more!

Please introduce yourself.
I'm Sarah Davies, I'm 14 years old and I'm with Finesse Models Australia.

What did being chosen as the A/W 2013 casper&pearl girl mean to you?
It was very exciting for me as I love the label and the clothes are just the sort that I like to wear!

What is your favourite piece in the A/W 2013 collection?
I love the 'Lennox' dress and the 'Kershaw' jumpers! I also love the 'Wallflower' dress with the floral embroidery in the front.

Favourite fashion labels?
I love casper&pearl, Finders Keepers, Cameo and Mink Pink!

What's been the most exciting experience so far in your modelling career?

Definitely the casper&pearl shoot, it was so much fun! 

Where do you see yourself in five years?
Hopefully still modelling! And I'd like to study medicine at Uni.

Decribe your style in three words.
Fun, girly and cute.

interview on oh my gilded.

 

When she was younger, Stacey Hendrickson dreamed of floaty picnic dresses, cute bustiers and pretty pastels. The Adelaide beauty brought casper&pearl to life in 2011 and just one year on the brand has gained a huge following, especially in the social media world, which has led to her dress being featured on Teen Vogue along with sending garments to cute-as-pie singer, Lisa Mitchell (I adore her!). The label's aesthetic is flirty, girly and whimsical, embodying every girl's dreams in the form of incredibly beautiful handmade clothing!

casper&pearl recently wrapped up shooting the lookbook for their transeasonal A/W 2013 collection, 'Secret Garden' and as with all of their clothing, the collection promises to capture the hearts of girls everywhere. 'Secret Garden' is bright colours aplenty along with their signature adorable little dresses and shorts as well as seeing the brand branch out by featuring a number of black pieces as well as knitwear - what more could a girl want?!

The lovely designer of casper&pearl, Stacey (the beauty above), was kind enough to share some of her inspirations behind the brand and the new collection!

omg: How old were you when you started casper&pearl?

c&p: I launched casper&pearl fresh out of high school when I was eighteen, but it was a long time coming before that! 

omg: Where does the name casper&pearl originate from?

c&p: I'm really inspired by the innocent and girly nature that c&p radiates, so I named the brand after my childhood best friend and I (everyone used to call me Casper because of my pale skin). Pearl used to live across the road from me and we would play every day in flowery fields and have tea parties, which is what I like to imagine girls do when they wear the brand.

omg: Describe casper&pearl in three words. 

c&p: Imaginative, feminine and fun!

omg: What or who are your biggest inspirations?

Most of my inspiration walls are plastered with vintage photos from the 70's and 90's, Valentino and Chloe, art and nature. 

omg: What's the inspiration behind the upcoming A/W 2013 collection, 'Secret Garden'?

c&p: For this collection I took inspiration from the story ‘Secret Garden’ by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I was really inspired by floral embroidery, which is featured throughout the collection with flowers that I hand drew. With each collection I really love to tell poetic stories and have hidden meanings; for me this range is a metaphor for how I grew this brand from the ground up out of basically nothing, and I’ve really enjoyed watching it blossom and grow into something so beautiful and appreciated.

omg: Describe the ultimate casper&pearl girl.

c&p: Free-spirited, passionate and happy.

omg: If you could choose anyone to wear your clothes, who would it be?

c&p: I would love to see casper&pearl being worn by Isabel Lucas, Alexa Chung or the Jenner sisters! A girl can dream.

omg: If you weren't designing, what would you be doing?

c&p: Maybe graphic design or photography. I love marketing too! But this way I get to do all four and I love every minute of it! 

omg: What is your most treasured item in your wardrobe?

c&p:My grandma passed down some beautiful clothing to me from the 70s, I cherish them too much to even wear out! Or my faux fur vest, I never take it off!

omg: What are your aspirations for casper&pearl?

c&p: My dream has always been to make somebody’s favourite brand, and if I can do that then I’ll be happy. I would also love to see c&p being sold in more stores across Australia and NZ!

behind the scenes.

We've been working very hard on our first seasonal collection for A/W 2013 'Secret Garden' and it's been so hard to keep it all to ourselves until the launch early next year. So we just had to share some beautiful behind the scenes images from our lookbook shoot we had on Tuesday. We chose the most beautiful girl from Finesse Models named Sarah Davies to represent this range and we're so happy with the results! Enjoy these pretty photos to get you a bit excited. If you own a boutique and would like to pre-order the range email us at hello@casperandpearl.com

last days of summer.

If you only had a few days left of Summer how would you spend them? Fanny from byfanny.se spent her last days frolicking through the flowery fields of her home town in Sweden and stopping to smell and pick flowers. Luckily for us she caught this beautiful moment on film and sent it through to us. Although we feel for our sweet swedes for losing their summer, we can't be happier to be getting it back in Australia! Only a few more weeks until the launch of our new spring collection which features the 'First Love' bustier above, they will be online at casperandpearl.com so make sure you register your details on our website to get in first.

Very talented blogger from Sydney, Loz Bugitti photographed and styled this shoot of Keelin wearing the orange c&p floral headpiece (mixed with other headbands) and she looks impeccable!

IZE Magazine Shoot.

We were recently approached by an amazingly talented photographer named Demi Cambridge to feature one of our 'First Love' bustiers in a photo shoot, and we are in love with the end results! The series, which will be featured in IZE Magazine this September, told a story about a girl frolicking in between rural roads, sunflower fields, old shacks and through the roads of Texas and Killarney. The beautiful model Shelby Bourke from BUSY models depicts the casper&pearl girl in this editorial, she appears so free-spirited and adventurous! This bustier will be available to purchase from our brand spankin new website very soon!

casper&pearl girls.

'The casper&pearl girl never really grew up, she never really wanted to. The only thing that grew was her long braided hair and the flowers in her garden. Her inner beauty and free-spirited nature shined through her sun kissed skin. She is passionate about life and inspired by everything around her.'

We absolutely adore our customers! Here at c&p we're creating more than just garments and pretty pieces to hang in your wardrobe. We're creating a world of love, creativity and happiness where girls can dress in our creations and feel great about themselves. Each and every customer is a part of our brand just as much as the creator herself! We love to see how each girl styles their favourite c&p piece to make it their own, these are some of our favourite photos that we've collected over the last few months. Send any photos you have to hello@casperandpearl.com or tag #casperandpearl on Instagram!
