Behind the Scenes - SS14 IDA Look Book Shoot

Back in November, on a beautiful sunny day we arrived at a gorgeous location near Heathrow to shoot the new IDA SS14 Look Book. Inspired by quintessential British elegance, the new IDA On the East Coast evokes 50s Americana with cool, classic, retro pieces with a nautical influence teamed with preppy cropped jeans and accented by fresh summery pastels and pops of bright colour.
