Little Doe Is Love

Little Doe Is Love is the brain child of Chase Cohl. Ms. Cohl is very much the kind of girl who was born in the wrong decade. Her swinging ombred blonde hair and 70s aesthetic makes anyone who's had the opportunity to be around her realize that they are in the presence of a true hippie child. Although her aesthetic is completely her own, it is perhaps unsurprising that her father- Michael Cohl- is the tour manager for The Rolling Stones. However, not only does she borrow from their legacy but she returns to it as her designs can be seen gracing the next generation of Richards' and Jagger's. 

The preview for her upcoming bridal range for example features her good friend Duncan Davies, who front the band 'The Treasures' which Chase's brother Liam plays in, and Theodora Richards. Some of you may be more familiar with Duncan's stint on the MTV show the city where he dated Whitney Port's flat mate in Season 1 of the series. 

In regard to what she says about her collection, the 'about us' section of the Little Doe Is Love website states:

"Littledoe is a custom based accessory company, created on the idea of its clients being able to find solace in a unique and one-of-a kind based side of expression. By crafting each piece from antique materials and sought out trinkets, we aim to provide wearers with that special kind of lovin' feeling. With inspirations and materials found from our great earth mother, no two pieces are identical. The natural beauty of this world provides us with the ability to create from the most raw and natural platforms available. Started in 2008, Littledoe takes its name from a lake in Algonquin Park, Northern Ontario, a reminder of the simplistic things in life."
 
However, the only true way you can appreciate Little Doe Is Love is first by meeting the designer herself, which although it's not possible now at least you can get an idea of her own, personal, visual aesthetic below (Duncan Davies is on her left and her brother, Liam Cohl, is on her right):
