the<br />

editor’s note<br />

Photograph by Meghan Chute<br />

There is no denying we are living in an unusual<br />

moment in history. This spring, the coronavirus<br />

pandemic kept many of us at home. For the<br />

last few months, it interrupted school, work and<br />

social life. Stay-at-home orders were in place, and<br />

social distancing practices were in full swing. In<br />

some areas, laws prohibited gatherings outside<br />

of families. I’m sure this all sounds familiar; you’ve<br />

been dealing with it too. With creative teams<br />

unable to work, I was concerned that we wouldn’t<br />

be bringing you very many fashion editorials for<br />

the summer issue. On a whim, I asked creatives<br />

from around the world if they would be interested<br />

in creating stories with their kids using the AT<br />

HOME theme.<br />

Except for a few features (shot pre-pandemic), our<br />

summer issue is packed! This season, our pages<br />

offer more editorial stories than we ever have<br />

before and in the largest <strong>Poster</strong> <strong>Child</strong> magazine<br />

to date!<br />

What is your best quarentine style?<br />

Connect with us on Instagram at<br />

@posterchildmag and don’t forget<br />

to tag us in your pictures!<br />

So, there you have it, the theme behind this season’s<br />

issue is AT HOME. We don’t usually have an<br />

overarching theme for each season, but it seemed<br />

pretty appropriate under the circumstances. So,<br />

within this issue, you’ll find stay-at-home style,<br />

activities and lots of great reading we hope you’ll<br />

enjoy.<br />

Editor’s Picks<br />

Carrying All with Boon<br />

The Coral Linen Washed Capri Tote from Boon has<br />

quickly become my go-to bag. Boon believes that the<br />

world needs more doers and helps give back with every<br />

product bought. 40% of every purchase made on Boon<br />

goes directly to a cause you care about!<br />

Sleep with ErgoPouch<br />

I’ve been loving the 2-in-1 design<br />

of this lightweight sleep suit bag for<br />

my youngest! It has been the perfect<br />

sleep solution on warmer evenings.<br />

Hydrating with GoSili<br />

We are so enjoying our tumblers to<br />

keep hyrdated on these warm days!<br />

GoSili products are 100% European<br />

grade silicone. We love that this<br />

company is on a mission to provide<br />

a sustainable alternative to plastic<br />

waste.<br />

Running with PediPed<br />

We’ve been enjoying a lot of<br />

backyard time and comfortable<br />

footwear is must for long walks<br />

and outdoor play. My daughter<br />

loves the memory foam comfort and<br />

flexible fit and I love the chic style!<br />

/ editor’s Picks /<br />

Quarantined Essentials<br />

Just like you, I’ve been stuck at home<br />

all spring! While it hasn’t always been<br />

fun, we have enjoyed discovering some<br />

new products. These are just a few of the<br />

things my kids and I have been loving!<br />

Swimming with Tea Collection<br />

Jumping in the sprinkler and<br />

splashing in our little pool, our<br />

watermelon swim pieces from Tea<br />

Collection are our very fave!<br />

I absolutely love their fit, style and,<br />

importantly, the UPF 40+ protection!<br />

Cuddles with Giggle<br />

We’ve been spending so much time<br />

couch cuddling these past few months!<br />

Our jammies from Giggle are handsdown<br />

the absolute favourite.<br />

Biking with Coco Village<br />

Biking is one of our favourite activities and we can’t<br />

wait to teach Liam to ride. I picked up this 2-in-1 bike<br />

for his first birthday from Coco Village. I loved that this<br />

option will grow with him and next summer he’ll be<br />

ready for us to convert it to a balance bike!<br />

First Steps with Sticky Be<br />

My baby is learning to walk! I can’t<br />

believe the difference in his confidence<br />

wearing these incredibly grippy socks!<br />

Sticky Be Socks are great for kids and<br />

also activities like yoga and pilates!

Designer Q&A<br />

CiaoBella<br />

This sustainable children’s brand is redefining baby basics, with luxury<br />

essentials for children that are anything but boring! We chat with designer<br />

and founder Darionne LaQuel about her adorable collection.<br />

Made in New York City, Ciao Bella is the sustainable<br />

luxury children’s brand that will have your child<br />

reaching into their closet for more! Designer and<br />

founder Darionne LaQuel is redefining what it<br />

means to dress your kids in basics, putting forth a<br />

brand that has become the top choice for moms<br />

and health-conscious consumers. The brand’s ultra<br />

soft organic fabrics and timeless designs make Ciao<br />

Bella’s pieces a must have for kids aged 0-5 years.<br />

We were so excited for the opportunity to interview<br />

Darionne and chat about the inspiration behind<br />

her brand and how she has been staying positive<br />

during the COVID-19 health crisis.<br />

What inspired the name of your label?<br />

After travelling the world, I was fascinated and fell in<br />

love with Italian architecture and, of course, fashion.<br />

Between the cultural and social phenomenon, Italian<br />

fashion is the emblem of style with volumes of high<br />

quality, well made with a tweak of chic. Inspired by<br />

this, in 2018, I created Ciao Bella and am delighted<br />

to bring customers alternative luxury basics.<br />

What made you want to design for children?<br />

I knew from a young age that I wanted to work<br />

with children, but in what aspect always was the<br />

question. It wasn’t until working at the hospital at<br />

The Cleveland Clinic that I decided I wanted my<br />

focus to be on young children facing illnesses.<br />

18


Designer Q&A<br />

20


This led to me offering an apparel product that<br />

could help real kids facing challenges like getting<br />

overheated and passing out due to certain<br />

conditions such as postural orthostatic tachycardia<br />

syndrome. For me, this was a condition I battled<br />

with as a child. This is where my relationships<br />

developed with the kids and their families.<br />

Two years later, I became an active Godmother, and<br />

I had to learn to transition from a busy professional<br />

to a playtime mom. In all the time within my<br />

professional career, I never felt so accomplished as<br />

dedicating my time to my precious Goddaughter,<br />

Mia.<br />

So there it was, along with my passion and<br />

dedication, and an aspiration to transition to<br />

motherhood one day, I decided to create a<br />

sustainable children’s brand, which soon became a<br />

natural fit.<br />

What is your brand’s mission statement or goal?<br />

At Ciao Bella, our goal is to make a change by going<br />

sustainable without sacrificing comfort or style. We<br />

also strive to be the destination for all essentials for<br />

newborns to toddlers. We offer a collection with a<br />

natural touch that makes each child feel good and<br />

look great on any occasion - at home, and anywhere<br />

else they decide to adventure.<br />

What are the motivations or inspirations behind<br />

the designs? Italian elegance with NYC style.<br />

long-lasting softness, enhanced breathability,<br />

superior color retention, and biodegradability.<br />

Ciao Bella is the only children’s brand in the USA<br />

that offers this specialized fabric blend.<br />

Besides the environmental factor, our products are<br />

thermal-regulating, which means they will adjust<br />

with your baby’s body temperature (less likely to<br />

become overheated). They are hypoallergenic<br />

and anti-bacterial right along with being great for<br />

sensitive skin.<br />

How does your design philosophy change when<br />

creating for boys vs girls?<br />

We try to keep everything as minimal and unisex as<br />

possible in our style designs. But for girls, we add<br />

a classical touch.<br />

What do you have coming up that you are really<br />

excited about? We are really excited about our<br />

upcoming press and campaigns. It seems like many<br />

outlets are noticing what we are doing and our<br />

impact on the industry.<br />

What is your favourite item from the current<br />

collection?<br />

My favorite item in our collection hands downs is<br />

our organic two-piece set. This set is the best go-to<br />

item for comfort and transitional wear; it also has a<br />

stylish vintage feel. <strong>Child</strong>ren can wear these sets all<br />

day, every day.<br />

Is there a style decade you are inspired by?<br />

Ciao Bella provides a premium collection of<br />

timeless <strong>Child</strong>ren’s Luxury Basics. We try not to<br />

focus too much on trends and look more to keep<br />

our primary focus on sustainability factors.<br />

What makes your label stand out in the industry?<br />

While most children’s clothing companies use<br />

conventional cotton containing toxins, we have set a<br />

new standard for sustainability and natural comfort.<br />

Our branded fibers offer a range of features,<br />

including botanic origins, sustainable production,<br />

Is it business as usual for Ciao Bella, or has the<br />

current health crisis affected your business?<br />

Over the past several months, the COVID-19<br />

coronavirus outbreak has shaken the global<br />

communities and has caused widespread disruption<br />

to business throughout the world. Therefore,<br />

despite the absence of a clear end-date for the<br />

novel coronavirus pandemic and considerations<br />

of restrictions on all gatherings and reports from<br />

leading healthcare organizations, we have been<br />

forced to make difficult decisions that shifted our<br />

business priorities. We were looking forward to<br />

expanding our brand internationally; however, as


Designer Q&A<br />

22


the threat of the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to<br />

grow globally, we were unable to host or participate<br />

in the events we had planned in Paris, France, this<br />

summer. We’ve also faced a slowdown in our US<br />

production. With that said, our main concern is on<br />

the health and safety of our community.<br />

What are you doing to stay positive at home<br />

right now?<br />

I’m in Astoria, New York, trying to find the calm<br />

being in the middle of the epicenter. I’m maintaining<br />

my physical and spiritual practices, meditating in<br />

the morning and before bed. I also travel to East<br />

Hamptons, where I go on occasional walks on the<br />

beach and take time to get away from the hustle n’<br />

bustle of the city.<br />

I’m working with my Ciao Bella team daily, focusing<br />

our efforts, nurturing our community digitally through<br />

e-commerce, Instagram, e-mail communication and<br />

video conferences. Communication, connecting,<br />

collaborating, creativity, community and change<br />

continue to be the driving force for everything that<br />

I do.<br />

More than ever, I see this as a call to action. As<br />

a team, we’re trying to figure out how we can<br />

help our healthcare system. Locally we’ve made<br />

donations to several organizations such as Meals<br />

on Wheels and Second Harvest Food Bank to help<br />

feed families that have been affected. There’s no<br />

going back, the world and our life will never be the<br />

same. I truly feel we should all be<br />

taking the time now to reflect,<br />

reset, appreciate nature,<br />

and create the change we<br />

need for our future.<br />

Making Their Mark: Polkadot England<br />

Elevates Sleep & Loungewear<br />

by Adrienne Dorsey<br />

About 100 miles from London lies a stretch of<br />

picturesque English countryside where Polkadot<br />

England loungewear is made using rare heritage<br />

knitting machines. The women and children’s lounge<br />

and sleepwear brand was born in 2008 and quickly<br />

gained a cult following among customers who adore<br />

their super soft and delicate, nostalgic designs. Now<br />

the brand can be found in the Hamptons as well as<br />

on fashion tastemakers including Lily Aldridge and<br />

Danielle Bernstein.<br />

Founders Debra Schoenau and Rachel Doneger, a<br />

mother-daughter duo, came up with the Polkadot<br />

England name after hearing Brian Hyland’s classic<br />

1960 tune “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot<br />

Bikini” and tying in where their brand is expertly<br />

made. Together they are a close-knit team whose<br />

personalities and skills compliment each other<br />

nicely as they strategically grow the popular brand.<br />

“My initial idea was to create something<br />

contemporary yet classically feminine, so to me<br />

that meant loungewear that can be worn outside as<br />

everyday essential pieces,” said Debra, who began<br />

her career as a buyer for major department stores.<br />

“Customers and friends would make comments like<br />

‘this brand is amazing, it should be in everyone’s<br />

closet, the pieces are incredibly soft, special and<br />

delicately detailed’ so I decided to expand on my<br />

designs.”<br />

Polkadot England fills the need for cozy and<br />

attractive clothing women can effortlessly wear<br />

everywhere- no need to change outfits before<br />

leaving the home. Camisoles, turtlenecks, chemises,<br />

shorts, joggers and robes are carefully crafted using<br />

British heritage knitting and the right blend of super<br />

soft materials.<br />

Debra and Rachel also noticed a demand for<br />

matching mother-daughter and mother-son<br />

clothing and found a way to make coordinating<br />

sets. Sailor stripes and vintage hearts on classic<br />

silhouettes lend a timeless feel to the children’s<br />

collection.<br />

Drawing inspiration from beauty in all forms, Debra<br />

translates these images into her designs while<br />

focusing on wearability and helping her devoted<br />

customers feel pretty in Polkadot England’s casual<br />

yet elevated offerings. She closely follows readyto-wear<br />

trends and then thoughtfully translates<br />

them to work with the Polkadot England aesthetic.<br />

“Our soft fabrics are unique blends of special<br />

yarns giving rise to garments that our customers<br />

don’t want to take off,” said Rachel, who is the<br />

CEO of Polkadot England. “Our brand has a<br />

physical presence in the Hamptons, in an amazing<br />

store we own called RELAX.”<br />

In addition to their Hamptons location, Polkadot<br />

England is sold at select retailers, including<br />

LoveShackFancy, and online.<br />

In a time of uncertainty amidst the pandemic,<br />

with brick & mortar shops temporarily shuttered,<br />

the brand seamlessly pivoted to focus more<br />

on e-commerce sales. Providing comfort to<br />

families with soft, cute separates they can wear<br />

while staying safe at home and hearing the<br />

positive feedback from customers fuels Polkadot<br />

England to continue. The increased demand for<br />

loungewear has also enabled Polkadot England<br />

to give back to various charitable causes and<br />

employ local freelancers.<br />

Looking ahead to the future, Polkadot England<br />

plans to expand their sizing as well as availability<br />

worldwide. Their devotion to exquisite comfort<br />

and accessible style will remain the same.<br />

Stay-at-home<br />

<strong>Summer</strong> mood:<br />

Cuban cool vibes<br />

<strong>Summer</strong> often brings many vacation plans. Whether<br />

we were taking family camping trips or travelling<br />

aboard, the opportunity to be submerged in other<br />

cultures and experience new places are favourite<br />

memories of childhood summers. With much of<br />

the world on lockdown and international travels<br />

entirely off-limits, it’s safe to stay that most of us<br />

will be spending our summer at home. So, we were<br />

delighted to be virtually transported on vacation<br />

when designer Alissa Bertrand shared her latest<br />

mini-fashion collection with us.<br />

Her story is familiar - Alissa is a creative mom who<br />

designs for her three daughters -however, her<br />

method is unlike any other! All of Alissa’s garments<br />

are created almost entirely out of deconstructed<br />

vintage adult clothing, thrift finds and repurposed<br />

fabrics. She blends contemporary and vintage<br />

silhouettes with sustainable and eco-friendly<br />

production; the outcome is genuinely one-of-akind,<br />

bespoke outfits for her girls.<br />

The colours and emotions of Cuba inspired this<br />

summer capsule collection, which a variety of<br />

features dresses and matching separate sets. With<br />

the culture and people flowing through every colour<br />

and flower, mixed prints and style capture a summer<br />

well spent. We couldn’t be more excited about this<br />

summer mood. We imagined Alissa’s<br />

family vacation Cuban scrapbook<br />

may look something like this!<br />

MeganStott<br />

A quarantined interview with the teen star of our new<br />

favourite web television mini-series Little Fires Everywhere.<br />

remote photography by Lilly K. Photography<br />

After (binge) watching every episode of the<br />

American web TV mini-series Little Fires Everywhere,<br />

we knew that we wanted to chat with one of the<br />

youngest members of the cast, Megan Stott. The<br />

17-year-old actress stars alongside Hollywood<br />

powerhouses Reese Witherspoon and Kerry<br />

Washington in the eight-episode series, based on<br />

the 2017 novel by Celeste Ng of the same name.<br />

Little Fires Everywhere premiered on Hulu in March<br />

and internationally on Prime Video just last month,<br />

and we were blown away by Megan’s performance<br />

in the series!<br />

PCM: For those who haven’t seen the show yet,<br />

(without any major spoilers), can you describe<br />

Little Fires Everywhere and how your character<br />

fits into the storyline?<br />

Megan: Little Fires Everywhere tells the truths about<br />

motherhood, family and female relationships.<br />

It is a story about how we perceive ourselves<br />

in relation to what is seen by society. I think Izzy<br />

brings to light some of the issues within her own<br />

family. Specifically, her mother Elena’s inability to<br />

love her unconditionally but also her other family<br />

relationships. Izzy’s exploration of her sexuality<br />

is unacceptable in her inner and outer circle and<br />

doesn’t fit into their ideas of female relationships.<br />

Izzy is such a dynamic character. How did you<br />

prepare for this role?<br />

Izzy is such an amazing and dynamic character who<br />

I loved playing. I did a lot of research to make sure<br />

that Izzy’s story was portrayed in the most genuine<br />

light possible. I talked to many people who are<br />

a part of the LGBTQ community to try and learn<br />

of their experiences so I could better connect to<br />

that side of Izzy. I interviewed high school kids to<br />

understand some of their hardships better. Music<br />

was also an influence for me and Izzy, making it<br />

easier to connect to Izzy from that point.<br />

What was the most challenging part of this role?<br />

I think the most challenging part about playing<br />

Izzy was the many layers that were going on inside<br />

of her. At times I felt alone like Izzy, but I allowed<br />

it and almost encouraged it because it helped<br />

me to be very in touch with that part of what she<br />

was experiencing. Izzy was very alone in her world<br />

and really had no one she could reach out to and<br />

express these emotions. Mia was a lifeline for her<br />

because she could finally discuss these challenges<br />

and come to accept herself.<br />

In what ways are you similar to your onscreen<br />

persona, Izzy?<br />

I think that my love of the arts and music is something<br />

that Izzy and I have in common. I also think that we<br />

are strong-minded individuals, and we both stand<br />

up for what we believe in. My personal experience<br />

with bullying helped me better understand what<br />

she was going through as well. I have grown so<br />

much through Izzy and have learned so many things<br />

about myself and others. I am so grateful that I was<br />

given this wonderful opportunity.


As viewers, we watch Izzy’s character unfold; she<br />

goes through a lot in only eight episodes. Is there<br />

anything that you learned from Izzy?<br />

Throughout the series, Izzy becomes more aware of<br />

who she is. She learns to be ok with that and develops<br />

self-acceptance, and in this, she builds confidence.<br />

That confidence has been projected into me. I have<br />

become confident in my work and am making bigger<br />

and bolder choices through acting and everyday life.<br />

There are too many lessons to list that have come from<br />

being a part of this amazing, strong production and<br />

having played Izzy.<br />

This mini-series touches on so many topics, from<br />

sexuality to motherhood, and perhaps most timely,<br />

white privilege and racism. While set in the 90s, it<br />

felt like, at times, these characters were speaking<br />

directly into our present. If there is just one<br />

message you hope audiences take from Little Fires<br />

Everywhere, what would it be?<br />

I think Little Fires Everywhere touches upon some of<br />

the many different layers of privilege, from the simple<br />

to profound. Your different experiences shape your<br />

understanding, and it is very common for people not<br />

to realize the privilege they have benefited from. I<br />

hope viewers come away from this show with a more<br />

conscious awareness of the privilege that exists in our<br />

society. One of the messages that Izzy tries to get<br />

across is that you never know what a person is going<br />

through. You don’t know if they are struggling. You<br />

don’t know anything about anyone other than yourself.<br />

Speaking of the 90s, we loved seeing all the<br />

throwback styles throughout the show! If you<br />

could keep one outfit from Izzy’s closet, what<br />

would it be?<br />

Only one would be a really hard decision. I would<br />

love to keep the outfit that Izzy wanted to wear to the<br />

orchestra; she was so proud of it. It was so sick!! I love<br />

the knee-length Doc Martins and the suit jacket!<br />

Is that the closest to your personal style? How<br />

would you describe your style?<br />

Izzy’s style is cool, but not my personal style. Sometimes<br />

I will wear what she would wear now because I feel<br />

comfortable in that too, but I only wear it if I’m feeling<br />

a bit edgy. I have a variety of clothing I wear. I love<br />

a good frilly pastel shirt, but I also love oversized<br />

sweatshirts. I do wear more girly outfits, like dresses,<br />

than Izzy. However, I adore a good pair of Docs!!<br />

If you could write an epilogue for Izzy, what future<br />

would you hope/imagine for her?<br />

I would hope that Izzy finds Mia and talks with her and<br />

is able to have guidance. However, I think that Mia<br />

would eventually send her back to her own mother. I<br />

hope that Izzy and Elena can come to terms with their<br />

differences. I believe people can do better but do not<br />

change, so it will be a matter of how much they can<br />

tolerate. I also hope that the siblings build a more<br />

meaningful existence and that they can come to a<br />

place of understanding Izzy and grow and evolve to be<br />

better people.<br />

What does the future hold for you, do you have<br />

any new projects we can look forward to?<br />

I am in a feature film called “YES DAY” with Netflix<br />

starring Jennifer Garner and Jenna Ortega. I play<br />

LAYLA, who is the best friend of Jenna’s character. I<br />

hope that we can all get back to work healthy and safe.<br />

Finally, during these uncertain times, what are you<br />

doing to stay positive?<br />

I have spent time reaching out to friends and checking<br />

in with them. I feel so fortunate to be healthy. Spending<br />

time with my family has been fun, and I am learning<br />

new skills like watercolor. There are so many bike trails<br />

here in Arkansas, so I have taken a lot of bike rides and<br />

go boating on the lake sometimes.<br />

I have been doing some virtual conferencing interviews<br />

regarding Little Fires Everywhere, and that always has<br />

me in a happy mood. I try to live my life as normal as<br />

possible and not be lazy, but of course, sometimes you<br />

have those days!<br />

I spend a lot of my time working on my craft and<br />

reacquainting myself with my goals. I am trying to get<br />

the most out of isolation and hit the ground running<br />

when we are on the other side of this.<br />

Next, it’s time to<br />

pull at the creativity<br />

strings and break<br />

out crafts for the whole family! Tie-Dye is a<br />

classic summer activity; did you know the<br />

process can be made more eco-friendly<br />

and kid-friendly by using food scraps?<br />

Natural fabric dyeing using Avocado pits and<br />

skins (gives a salmon pink color), is a fun and<br />

sustainable way to add some color to your life.<br />

Here’s how to do it:<br />

1. Ensure the dye sticks to your fabric, combine four parts<br />

water with one part vinegar, then boil your soon- to- be dyed<br />

garment in this mixture for an hour.<br />

2. Enjoy the food behind the peel, then chop up the peel and add this<br />

and the pit to a second pot of salted boiling water. After letting that simmer<br />

for an hour, turn off the heat and you are ready to dye!<br />

3. Add in your damp fabric, and wait until the next morning to check on your masterpiece.<br />

This process can be replicated with onion skins (gives a buttery yellow color), black beans<br />

(gives a light blue color), and turmeric (gives a golden yellow color)!<br />

Virtual Kids<br />

Club brings young<br />

artists together<br />

in lockdown<br />

<strong>Child</strong>ren’s fashion photographer<br />

Emily Koryna shares how she<br />

has been staying busy during<br />

the pandemic - teaching kids<br />

virtual photography classes!<br />

When COVID-19 caused much of the business world<br />

to shut down, Canadian-born now Berlin-based<br />

photographer Emily Kornya designed to share her<br />

love for photography with some eager students,<br />

kids! Her virtual Zoom class has been bringing more<br />

than just photography tips to children around the<br />

world. Over the past few months, the sessions have<br />

been boosting spirits and encouraging new (longdistance)<br />

friendships.<br />

We love this project and we were excited to chat<br />

with Emily all about it in this interview!<br />

PCM: How did you come up with the idea for the<br />

After School Photography club?<br />

Emily Kornya: Actually, my Dad first suggested that<br />

I should do some photography classes for kids<br />

virtually, as he was seeing a lot of people taking their<br />

businesses online (he was mostly inspired by the Yoga<br />

studio we go too, and how they started virtual classes).<br />

We talked about the idea, and I thought I could do<br />

something really fun with it, both benefiting the kids<br />

and giving them something interesting, interactive<br />

and social to do, while also giving the parents a short<br />

break in the day.<br />

Emily Kornya and some of her photography students.<br />

Can you tell us a bit about the lesson plan?<br />

The first lesson I gave them taught some basics, like<br />

the rule of thirds (imaging a grid of 9 squares on a<br />

photo, and aligning the important parts on that<br />

grid), different ways and styles to take photos, and<br />

also some tips on what not to do (like chopping off<br />

limbs of people). We also went through different<br />

editing functions. The kids use both cameras and<br />

smartphones; most use smartphones though, as not<br />

everyone has access to a camera. Each week we do<br />

a new challenge of a style of photography. Here are<br />

some of the activities we have done so far: making<br />

a story with photos, a photo scavenger hunt (this is<br />

a favourite, so I did one with riddles too), recreating<br />

vintage photos, chalk drawing photography, creating<br />

scenes with toys to photograph, texture, animals,<br />

expression & eyes and a bird’s eye view!<br />

How many kids are participating?<br />

Each class differs as some kids can’t make all classes,<br />

but, in the North American group, a lot of kids join,<br />

usually around 7-12! The North America group has<br />

been going on since the end of March/beginning of<br />

April, and it’s really cool as the kids have started to get<br />

to know each other, and we have a little community<br />

feeling going on. They talk with each other about<br />

their interests and their photos. Some even ask, “Can<br />

I screenshot that? It’s so cool!”<br />

What is the age range?<br />

The typical age range is 6-10; however, if there is a<br />

5-year-old who loves taking photos and also has the<br />

38


patience, (as I do talk to the kids, and we go over each<br />

other’s photos at the end, some little ones may not have<br />

the patience for all that talking) I am happy for them to join.<br />

I am also happy for older kids to join. I just tell their parents<br />

that there are younger kids in the group, so if they don’t<br />

mind being in a group with younger kids, they are welcome<br />

to join.<br />

And, from how many countries do you have kids<br />

participating? I have two groups going right now, and<br />

they both cover lots of places! My North America group<br />

is with kids from the USA and Canada. I’ve had kids from<br />

Toronto, LA, New York, Long Island, Atlanta & Nashville. In<br />

the Europe/UK group (which also includes other countries<br />

with a similar time zone), I’ve had kids from Madrid,<br />

Barcelona, Valencia, London, Birmingham (England), Milan<br />

and even from Pretoria, South Africa! It is really amazing for<br />

these kids to get to meet and communicate with other kids<br />

from around the world, or their own country. Now, since I<br />

am back in Berlin (I was in Toronto when the self-isolation/<br />

lockdown started), I will merge the two classes so it will be<br />

even more international! Some of the kids I have worked<br />

(photoshoots) with before, but others I really hope to work<br />

with in the future!<br />

Are you teaching in different languages?<br />

I only teach in English, as I am only fluent in English.<br />

Hopefully, I am fluent in more languages one day! However,<br />

I have many kids doing the class who have English as a<br />

second language, so I figure this is also a great opportunity<br />

for them to practice in a fun environment.<br />

Do you plan to continue for a summer photography<br />

club? Yes, I do! I also would love to hold these in real life<br />

once everything is back to normal! I hope to do that in<br />

some of the cities where I’ve had a lot of popularity.<br />

After learning about this awesome project, I’m sure our<br />

readers would like to know if you are accepting more<br />

students and what is required for kids to be involved!<br />

I am always accepting new students! All you need is a<br />

camera or smartphone and creativity to join; the class is for<br />

everyone of all abilities!<br />

Manuela<br />

and her enfants sauvages.<br />

by stylist María Montané<br />

photography by Manuela Franjou<br />

When I met Manuela Franjou, four years<br />

ago in Spain, her little daughter had just<br />

started walking, and Cyan, her youngest<br />

boy, wasn’t even planned but, from early<br />

on, I knew styling this family and becoming<br />

a part of their story would be special.<br />

Manuela and her partner decided<br />

almost three years ago to raise their four<br />

children in a natural environment with a<br />

simple life, where they could enjoy their<br />

interests, create and grow more freely.<br />

They now live in Girona, a community<br />

about one hour from Barcelona and near<br />

the French border where they call an old<br />

farmhouse home. From their property, all<br />

that can be seen are trees and fields. But<br />

the family enjoys their secluded lifestyle.<br />

The moments when they find themselves<br />

altogether, cooking, reading, taking care<br />

of the garden, talking, ordering, painting,<br />

building, weaving, inventing, playing...<br />

living!<br />

I would say that I’m not the type of person<br />

who feels like I can live far from a big city,<br />

but with every photo she shares, I wish I<br />

had the opportunity to start all over and<br />

live just like them.<br />

As long as I’ve known Manuela, I’ve<br />

been moved by how she captures her<br />

family’s bond. Cooking, dancing ballet<br />

while wearing Little Creative Factory tulle<br />

dresses, The Simple Folk onesies and Belle<br />

Chiara shoes; the children stare at beautiful<br />

candles and blow them. They spend time<br />

brushing their hair, and they swing from<br />

the tree in their huge backyard. Around<br />

sunset, they read books altogether, and<br />

at dinnertime, they will surprise you with<br />

a new recipe they created. Home is the<br />

heart of this family, and their place is cozy,<br />

warm and invites you to take a sip of oat<br />

milk while dipping chocolate chip cookies,<br />

of course, homemade.<br />

Committed to sustainable and<br />

environmentally friendly garments,<br />

Manuela has very clear ideas about what<br />

her family wears. She won’t use brands<br />

that don’t live up to these values. For<br />

me, styling the family is not an easy task,<br />

and it comes with its challenges; we<br />

dress Manuela’s children in mostly plain<br />

garments, in bold and neutral colours<br />

using a variety of natural fabrics. Manuela<br />

knows what she wants to transmit through<br />

her photos, all of which have her DNA. We<br />

have now been working together since<br />

2016, and the results are lovely.<br />

The daily activities Manuela shares<br />

transport you to their home and make<br />

you want to live their life. Is it present?<br />

Or is it just a storytale? Being at home<br />

with Manuela during a pandemic doesn’t<br />

look like being in confinement. Instead,<br />

it looks like joy and freedom and natural<br />

childhood.
