As always on campaign day, we were up at the crack of dawn to make the most of the beautiful morning light. The team met at the pier just before sunrise to see the it lit up with fairy lights. The only way to the lake house is by boat. While we waited for our skipper we got takeaway coffees - an essential for the huge day ahead. With suitcases and coffees in hand, we hopped aboard our boat and settled in for our journey ahead.
Our team was made up of photographer Tess Leopold, videographer Lincoln Caplice, Model Neve Fogg from CHIC, H&M artist Beck Carrol, skipper Matt and the peony team.
The rugged bays around Coaster’s Retreat are truly incredible. As we navigated to our location we caught glimpses of beautiful cottages hidden among the dense Australian bushland. We pulled up to the location and set up. Our beautiful model Neve has gorgeous skin and eyebrows, so we just added a little moisturiser, waterproof mascara, rosy cheeks and lip balm and she was ready to go… a beautiful natural look, signature for peony. While Neve was getting ready, the rest of the team set up and scouted the location.
The inspiration for our Narrative collection stemmed from personal memories of whimsical and ethereal childhood storybooks. Everyone has their favourite and we love this sense of nostalgia. The lake house was the perfect location to bring our Narrative collection to life.
We spent the morning wandering up and down the jetty and swinging Neve in an old hammock. Snacking and hydrating throughout the day is essential. We stopped for lunch and had a picnic by the water and then continued shooting throughout the afternoon, canoeing the calm waters with a boat full of wildflowers.
Our day ended with Tess, our gorgeous heavily pregnant photographer and dear friend balancing in a tinny to get the final shot of Neve diving in to the water - needless to say this made the entire team very nervous but Tess wasn’t going to miss the shot! We got the shot and after Neve had a quick swim we packed up, hailed the skipper and made our way back to the pier.
We were spoilt with a divine sunset on the way home, all a little tired and sunburnt but bursting with excitement to see the developed film - what a magical day.

Thread tape measure under your arms, around your back and across the fullest part of your bust. Once you have the tape measure lined up, relax your arms at either side
Your natural waistline is the narrowest part of your waist, above your belly button and below your rib cage. Run the tape measure around your waist (like a belt), keeping it straight.
Stand on a level surface with your feet together. Measure the fullest part of your bottom and upper thighs, not around your hip bones. Ensure the tape is straight around your body.
If you don't have a measuring tape, you can use a piece of string and then measure the string length with a ruler. Tape should be horizontal all around, and fit close to the body. These are tips to measure your body, not the garment.
