Double Talk

If you’ve been following the ‘I Go Back’ collection from the beginning, you’ve likely come to learn one thing about the McMullen family: we were seemingly always on a road trip. They were all memorable and meaningful in their own right, but it was a fortuitous family ski trip to this tiny New Mexico town that would unwittingly change the trajectory of our lives.

Taos innately belonged among the ‘I Go Back’ collections for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it was the adopted home of Millicent Rogers, the influential fashion figure widely credited with making Southwest style chic, and the inspiration for this collection.

Millicent Rogers was a sweetheart of the New York City social scene, where she turned heads and made waves by debuting this sort of “high-low” elegance, donning exquisite diamonds juxtaposed with handcrafted silver and turquoise pieces she’d acquired on her adventures through the Southwest.

We poured a lot of our heart and our history into ‘I Go Back’, and symbols that represent significant pieces of our lives permeated the collections. We designed those symbols into a series of commemorative charms to celebrate this monumental milestone.

This year has really given a whole new meaning to “all dressed up with nowhere to go”. By the same token, it’s taught us how much our outfit affects our attitude. Get up. Dress up. Show up.

When COVID thwarted our ambitions of taking the team to Nashville, we found that we could photograph the collection right here in our own backyard. This little hidden gem in the heart of Seguin turned out to be the next best thing.

The Nashville shoot was the first since the COVID shutdown, so it was most of our first time being around other humans in months. And it showed.

We’ve taken you down to Matagorda County, up to Wyoming, and east to Music City, and now we’re headed to the Land of Enchantment, to a place that has a truly special place in our hearts and our history.

We’ve always been all about embellishments -- we’ll stud and fringe and embroidery anything that doesn’t move -- but we’re not usually big on bling. Well, we pushed our own boundaries with the Nashville collection, bringing the shimmer with not only sparkles but satin.

As a recording artist, there are certain milestones to strive for that signify the pinnacle of success. One is earning a gold record; one is winning a Grammy. We never had those aspirations. And yet, we found ourselves at the Grammys anyway.
