Inspiration: Gypsum by Jessica's Photography

This Nordic inspiration shoot features our Gypsum gown. The simplicity and functionality characteristic of Scandinavian design showcase Gypsum's modern draped chiffon silhouette and beaded geode details. We can almost feel the arctic air in the distressed grey and white backdrop and wintry decor.

Behind the Scenes, 2015 Runway Show

If you've been following us over on instagram or facebook, then you've been catching all the sneak peeks of our 2015 runway show, held October 13th at the beautiful 404 NYC space!

With origins in ancient Egyptian culture, our journey takes us from the mysticism of the sacred scarab to the magic and wonder of the study of alchemy.   Through gold detailing, geode inspired embellishment, and relaxed but powerful silhouettes the 2015 Carol Hannah collection celebrates feminine strength and mystery.
