There is nothing that screams 'Americana' more than a California road trip. In this brand new editorial, Wild At Heart Vintage designer Kelley Ash set out with photographer Graham Dunn to capture the spirit of the company in a genuine California road trip.
Kelley Ash cites Wild at Heart Vintage's inspiration as, "The simple things in life. Road trips in the desert, the songs of Neil Young, the possibilities of desolate second hand shops, cheap motel rooms and the Polaroids that record the journey."
This shoot features shots of Ash against the backdrop of the charming California mountains. With shots ranging from Ash in a one-piece Budweiser suit to her posing in front of the Hollywood sign on the outskirts of LA, the Polaroids perfectly encapsulate the spirit of California's simplistic beauty.
