A Country Escape
A Country Escape
A new photo series captured by Rosie Marks on a weekend away with her friends in the English countryside
Five friends on a rural retreat. Grace Plowden, a student; Sang Woo Kim, an artist; Lydia Graham, a model; Olive Parker, a film student; and Jackson Hale, a photographer. They explore and dress up in our new collection of checks, lace, sweatshirts and tailoring over the course of a long weekend at Boughton Monchelsea Place in Kent, a 16th-century country house that has, for hundreds of years, been home to many members of British parliament.
