As part of our Sustenance celebrations this month, we interview Camille Becerra––legendary chef, mama to Paloma and all round magic woman. A New Jersey native, Camille is the director and executive chef at all-day eatery De Maria in Downtown New York City where her food showcases a commitment to wholesome, seasonal and local ingredients.

After studying macrobiotic cuisine and cooking for cancer patients in Philadelphia, Becerra moved to a Zen monastery in New Mexico, where she cooked vegetarian meals for the monks, sourcing ingredients from the on-premises garden. Now, with close to 20 years of restaurant experience, her passion for restaurant culture & kitchen life is a force to be reckoned with.

We visited Amy Leeworthy at her Melbourne home studio –– a cosy spot where this mama of two spends her days creating handcrafted clay vessels, inspired by the colours of the Australian landscape. Captured with her youngest bebe Delilah, Amy shares her rituals with us below...

Shoe designer and model Mari Giudicelli grew up in Brazil with her mum and grandma, which inspired her love of handcrafts. She went to art school in Rio de Janeiro, and then packed her bags for New York when she decided she wanted to make wearable art. After studying at Parsons, FIT, and taking a specialist footwear course, Giudicelli dove into the world of shoemaking.

Her signature, laid back Leblon mules quickly gained fans around the world, allowing her to expand her namesake collection into a serious operation. We stopped by her Williamsburg apartment down by the river to ooh and ahh over her shoe collection (naturally) and talk about her rituals.

Driven to investigate the idea that the human digestive gut is a central hub for both societal and emotional cues, New York-based Lexie Smith realises her findings through a multitude of artistic outlets. By creating a combination of historical breads, delicately sculpted wooden tools and curating a space of culturally disturbing newspaper headlines, Lexie feeds her fascination with the relationship between our internal organs and our psychological state.

By harnessing her own personal rituals, Los Angeles-based artist Lauren Spencer King has found a way to lend her experience and knowledge to others, sharing her love of nature's healing properties and the power of breath in both her paintings and meditation classes. Celebrating the idea of a daily practice, Lauren's work teaches others that ritual can be a useful tool for everyday use.

Paris-based photographer Kimbra Audrey (contributor to Vogue Italia) created a series of self portrait images for Sans [ceuticals]. After spending the past decade modelling, she decided to turn the camera on herself. To Kimbra, there is nothing more intimate and healing than taking self portraits.

Jewellery designer & porcelain ceramicist, Kathleen Whitaker is best known for her simple geometric designs––most notably her original staple and sequin studs. Originally from New York City, Kathleen studied Russian literature and ceramics in New Orleans before moving to Los Angeles, where she developed her jewellery practice.

Kathleen’s work celebrates modern sculptural shapes & simplicity. Her namesake line is worn and loved by many, with a following that’s quickly spreading across the globe. Working exclusively in 14-karat solid gold, sterling silver and more recently with gem stones, her pieces are created for a lifetime of wear –– something which we greatly admire about Kathleen's design ethos.

Captured in her chic studio in downtown Los Angeles by Nastassia Brückin, we are excited to share Kathleen’s rituals for life + holiday season…
