Speaking about the disarming simplicity of some of the white looks, Hearst explained that if you go up close, you see truly gorgeous silks and talismans. The charms are from dead-stock jewelry in old Parisian fashion houses. Upcycled fabrics from previous seasons are now shredded and macraméd into new garments.
Hearst says that the 58 percent of the spring collection is made from lower-impact materials, compared to 40 percent of the winter collection. For those who are taking notes, Gabriella Hearst is also sourcing fibers and other materials from farms committed to regenerative soil health. Arizona Muse will be ecstatic.
The New York Times shares a conversation with Gabriella Heart, first aired on Instagram Live.
Speaking of her current, very demanding life: Hearst has irrepressible confidence:
Well, I take genuine joy and satisfaction from the design process and am supported by amazing teams. Obviously this experience can be hard at times. It takes a physical toll and a lot of sacrifice to make sure you find some kind of balance, especially when it comes to family. But also, I wanted this. Badly. I am grateful for the opportunity. So I can’t complain for even one second because I wanted these things. It’s a dream to be doing what I’m doing.
