In honor of Women's History Month, luxury cashmere brand Lingua Franca has partnered with The Willa Cather Center to celebrate the Pulitzer Prize-winning feminist author's work and legacy.
... [+]Growing up in Nebraska, Rachelle MacPherson was taught about Willa Cather, the Pulitzer Prize-winning American writer and a native of the state, and prescribed readings of her work early on in life.
And when it came to designing Lingua Franca’s spring collection, MacPherson decided to embrace the former of her homelands in a big way. She found inspiration in her own family members, including her grandmother Irene, whose 1920’s home and farm in Ceresco, Nebraska, served as the backdrop for the line’s photoshoot. But the designer also wanted to pay tribute to Cather, whose work and life have long influenced and her own career.
The collection includes ready-to-wear dresses, tops, and skirts, alongside the signature Lingua Franca embroidered cashmere sweaters, which are hand-stitched with some of Cather’s most notable quotes and phrases, like “an adventurous life” and “the end is nothing the road is all.” “Selecting which of her works to highlight was the toughest part,” says Macpherson.
