Millie, what’s the story behind you teaming up with Friends Like These?

“As with most things that are meant to be, our paths crossed by accident, or by fate – whichever you believe in.

“Friends Like These launched just over a year before we started working together. They were looking for someone to work with and I was looking for a brand who had the same approach to collaborative partnerships. I was really drawn to their brand aesthetic and how they shot their campaigns, so for me, there was an organic synergy. In our first meeting, everyone had the same inspired vision and references, so from the offset we were all heavily invested.”
