#HowTheyDoDapper: Diane + Helene

by Priya Pappu |

Diane + Helene are some of our favorite people here at C+L HQ! Not only are they a fun hang, they've been huge supporters of C+L since Day 1, in a variety of ways. Including: lending us their beautiful faces & dapper style for our C+L launch shoot and Re-Emergence shoot.

Helene wears the Stare twilly, the Expectation twilly (on bag) and the Georgia mask

Diane wears the Broadway bow.

So it was totally believable when we reached out to them about a new "C+L Couples" feature we were doing - would they be interested in a photo shoot + interview? Of course they would! They met us at Printer's Alley in downtown Nashville on a sunny afternoon in May...but there was one catch: the whole thing was orchestrated by Diane as a ruse to propose to Helene!

Helene wears the Dawn twilly, Diane wears the Chevy bow and Ardor pocket

We had to share this story because first of all, how fun, but also - this was one of those moments where we truly had to just bask in this incredible community. The fact that our little business could play a small part in the start of forever for these two amazing humans is such an honor. That is the magic that we stand for. 

Everyone needs to meet these two - so keep reading to get acquainted!
