July is heating up! From Jurassic Park to Pride and Prejudice We've been hard at work in the studio creating new designs and each one has been a labor of love, we've been dying to share them with you!
The Jurassic Park inspired "Clever Girl" design is a quiet homage to that moment, and to every woman who’s ever outwitted the odds in a world that wasn’t built for her. Ellie Sattler wasn’t just “the girl” in a guy’s movie. She was the one who powered through danger, made the hard calls, and still had enough wit to walk out of the jungle when many others didn’t. That, to me, is the heart of the phrase clever girl. It’s not just a quip, it’s one of the lines that captures a facet of the message of the movie.
