photography by Gentl and Hyers
Kim Ficaro is many things, a super talented interior prop stylist, author, traveller and founder of the global-inspired home décor line, Totem Home. She travels constantly for work sourcing and also inspiration for her line. She has a feminine and sophisticated, yet bohemian, touch. So we were in luck recently when she, Andrea Gentl, Marty Hyers and I were all in the city at the same time, we converged on Kim's apartment, she chose her favorite pieces from our bedding collection and then we spent the rest of the day capturing her story.
We didnt overthink or over discuss the images, we just looked for moments, the beds are perfectly messy. As always with these three it was any easy collaboration. www.kimficaro.com www.totemhome.com
