Photographed in New York State, the shoot merges a passion for photography, family and conscious fashion. Born in Blantyre Malawi, Mercy inherited her mother’s creativity and style.  The 16-year-old has been studying photography for five years, connecting her younger sisters with the camera in an intimate outdoor setting.  

For Mercy, the power of photography is its freedom and limitless boundaries – quoting on her website: “I like the fact that pictures can speak to us loudly and clearly through our eyes. Not everybody looking at the images will have the same point of view or feeling when looking at the same thing.” 

For the shoot, Stella and Estere sported AW22’s colourful styles, crafted from responsible materials kinder to Mother Earth. Signature looks included our forest-friendly viscose printed dresses – made from wood pulp sourced from responsibly managed forests, traceable from tree to textile to ensure no ancient, endangered or protected forests are harmed.
