Neira is one of my favourite fashionable people, just one look at her tumblr or her instagram puts a smile on my face. you may remember my first post about her bag line MOMO earlier this year. since then i have been spotting MOMOs all around town, and have been carrying my own black patent MOMO around relentlessly (it goes with EVERYTHING!) so i was really excited to see this new summer campaign, and asked her to tell me a bit about it…
The shoot was a tribute to my favourite photographers of the late 80’s Hans Feurer and Gilles Bensimon who favoured the long lens and dynamic styling approach. my husband Adrian shot the campaign and we collaborated on the look and feel, it’s supposed to echo an 80’s scrapbook of some exotic holiday… and the only three new hues available are the lilac, naartjie and bubblegum for this summer only. I am moving away from suede, and am looking to import colourful ostrich leather – that will be the next exciting step for MoMo! I also have a smaller bag in the works called a NiNa coming out in the next few months hint: think Michelle Pfeiffer…
