Friendship is simple; be honest and kind to the people you truly care about. Be a true friend to yourself by focusing on self-love, personal growth, and spreading that to those you come across. Summer is a dreamy season when anything seems possible. It’s flush with late-night adventures, inspiring nature treks, thrift shopping afternoons, live shows in the evening, and living room dance parties after hours. And all of these ephemeral moments happen amongst friends.

In our eyes, impactful friendships make powerful communities. It’s time to embrace connections with others, be bold and take risks. This season we are exploring how friendships can affect our style choices and creativity.

Here at 1905, there is always more room for friends! We teamed up with Maria Egolf-Romero as a guest editor to gain a new creative perspective.This issue’s cover photo is a portrait of joyous faces captured by Lindsey Kennedy featuring our dear friends and collaborators. We bring you the faces behind this publication, and others handpicked from our creative community in Friends of 1905.

In this issue, Maggie Grimason illustrates her yellow memories in I Drew A Line For You, a color essay, paired with photography by Jenn Carrillo and Brad Trone. We meet Samantha Platero, founder of Dineh, who shares how her unique experiences and inspiration from friends helped mold her business in Good Things Come. We talked with a handful of Santa Fe creatives who reflect on style, friendship and how the Southwest has influenced their art in Community Philo-sophy. The style story Drawn Together features images from a collaborative shoot between Wearing Maia and ethical clothing brand Meg Parry Studio, which allowed a great opportunity to talk about how to be a friend in fashion.

Enjoy!

Xoxo, Mariah, Darnell & Maria

There is stunning nature all around us, and taking an afternoon to wander into it is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Some places are so beautiful, serene and simultaneously alien they make us remember something deep about being human. Plaza Blanca is one of those places.

In this style story—photographed by Lindsey Kennedy—we present familiar friendly faces from the 1905 community in The White Place.

All the models don denim from Shop Paradise Club and/or Shop Better Together and the blues stand out like cool-toned stars against the cream color rocks. This is a visual ode to hiking in the heat with all your buds, and to denim, of course.

oakland, california

BRWNGRLZ was made for those with too much melanin for magazines, too much “sass” to be “normal,” and too many tongues to be understood. It is a manifestation of all of the things that make BRWNGRLZ live: Spirit, Rebellion, Wind, and Sun. Channeling the things that make us strong, these accessories nod to the fact that BRWNGRLZ will never blend in with the rest of the faces of the crowd, but instead, will reclaim their nonconformity rebelling against assimilation. BRWNGRLZ were made for brown girls/ any POC who is womyn/femme identified, but are not exclusively for brown girls. We are gladly inclusive and want to introduce the rest of the world with the courage of being BRWNGRLZ. We encourage everyone to live as the brown girl does, to channel everything that makes you stand out and put it on with no fear.

Shine For You words by Maggie Grimason | photography by Jenn Carrillo & Brad Trone | clothing from Mill & Finery | art direction by Mariah Romero & Darnell Thomas | styling by Jessica Bovee

In seventh grade that Coldplay song was as good as the most esoteric poetry—the stars are yellow, the line is yellow, you are yellow, the song is called “Yellow.” That pop melody needled right beneath the ribs during early mornings over-straightening my hair and watching MTV before middle school. Just so, the school bus was made visible bouncing down the road during the dusky 6am hour, later the sun still made us scrunch up our eyes and look away. Yellow is vitality now as much as it is memory. The color of cheerfulness all the more vivid when tempered with it’s opposites on the color wheel—without the intellect and energy of yellow, purple and blue don’t have the same trusty punch. In chromatherapy, yellow steels the mind and strengthens the nerves—no wonder then that as an awkward adolescent I wore my yellow “Speed Kills” shirt from PacSun and pirated Coldplay on LimeWire from the basement. And still, it also brings the magic of clarity—brilliant as it is, impossible to ignore. It is as elemental as the air, as much a part of nature as New Mexico’s abundant sun. It represents happiness. And what is more aspirational than that? What desire more universal? The color of deities of love, goddesses of the sun, oracles looking into the future, coins in the pocket and lemonade in the summer. Yellow endures in personal mythologies as much as it courses throughout the natural world, the mystical world, and shoots through human history just like a sunbeam.

GOOD THINGS COME words by Maria Egolf-Romero | photography by Dillon Sachs

Great ideas aren’t born overnight, but grow as they’re nurtured by dreams and experiences. The best ideas are ones that take inspiration from life’s lessons and friend’s successes, and combine them with inspiration—like the kind you get whilst having drinks and dinner in a surrealist haven in the Mexican jungle.

I want to show other areas of the reservation.”

Watcha Wanna Do? words by Darnell Thomas | illustration by Lydia Abernathy

ASTRO & CHILL? Call up some of your close friends and plan a night under the stars. This gives you and your buds a chance to learn some interesting characteristics about each other’s astrological signs and their compatibilities. The internet and social apps are full of surprises these days and you can come across some pretty hilarious traits about your astrological sign while possibly learning something new.

KARAOKE TURNED DANCE PARTY All you need is a laptop connected to a killer speaker, a pretend microphone, and some wine or beer to get you and your friends going. It is fun to sing out loud to throwbacks and pop hits with your group of ravers! Then, when everyone’s vocal cords needs some resting, it is time to put the pretend microphone down and bust out some moves!

FUN IN THE SUN We love spending time with our friends in the sun over some BBQ and Piña Coladas! Summer is always a great window of opportunity to be creative with your get togethers—especially when a group of your favorite people are coming over.

Host weekend activities with your friends so everyone can schedule accordingly, plan out tasty recipes to bring over, and map out which outfit to wear because we all have to be picture ready. Don’t forget the Polaroid!

Community Philo-sophy words by Maria Egolf-Romero | questions by Darnell Thomas & Mariah Romero photography by Danny Allegretti

This street style story honors the breezy love shared by friends who stay out and enjoy summer evenings. We asked some friends of the community some questions about friendship, style in the southwest and creativity. Many referenced feelings of unconditional love, color-inspiration borrowed from nature, and the ways their environments motivate them to keep making art. This is summer in the desert with a creative bunch of friends.

How has the Southwest inspired your personal style?

I feel quite spoiled to have grown up in Santa Fe, a place I’ve been quite happy to continue calling home. It has without a doubt influenced my style, from the cool summer nights and forgiving winters to casual sensibilities and gorgeous outdoors.

I suppose that those factors have influenced me to adopt a very practical, functional style. Even on the days where I rep my more femme side and rock a sundress, you can bet I’ve got bike shorts underneath and running shoes in the car. The mountains are always calling here and I always want to be ready to seize the moment and get outdoors. I often joke that my style is “hipster ninja,” because I live in running leggings which give

Living in Santa Fe has had a major impact on my style. The natural beauty of our surroundings has definitely inspired the colors I wear. The presence of so many amazing Native American artisans has inspired me to wear more jewelry and locally handmade things. With over 300+ sunny days in SF, hats have become a practical accessory that I use to limit sun exposure but also use to add style to almost every outfit.

The ability to enjoy and value each other regardless of the circumstances, good times, bad times, in-between times.

How has the Southwest inspired your personal style?

Especially coming into adulthood here, Santa Fe has opened me up to the breadth of realities everyone around me is experiencing at any given moment. This has allowed me to explore myself and my style, trying on a bunch of different things and evolving, finding what sticks and learning from the rest.

What motivates you as a creative?

My motivation as a creative person is the everlasting pursuit of my own exploration and expression, and to the understanding of others. Openness to art and its different viewpoints is im-

so grounding and honestly feels so essential to my well being. I love my friends so so so much.

How has the Southwest inspired your personal style?

Living in Santa Fe has definitely inspired my personal style because there’s not that many people here. I get dressed with the idea that people who already know me will see me, so it feels like a more intimate form of communication and expression than if I was going to go walk out on the streets of a big city or something. I also think since there’s so few folks in my age range that live in Santa Fe, I’m especially inspired by those who do!

There are some real stylin’ folks in this town!

What motivates you as a creative?

Art and creativity transform our world, and that really motivates me because I want our world to be better! As creators, if we can envision the world we want to see and then make work the that moves us closer to that world, that seems like a life worth living to me.

This spread is by Meg Parry Studio, a brand based in Melbourne, Australia which collaborates with emerging designers around the world. On Meg Parry Studio’s website their philosophy covers their belief in accountability, their unique made-to-order system and the importance of social responsibility.

They’re addressing the ugly truth behind beautiful clothing; it’s polluting the planet. The textile industry is a mammoth contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and it can take hundreds of gallons of water to produce just one t-shirt. As it becomes easier, faster and less expensive to buy clothes, we’re throwing away more clothing than ever.

What can we do to combat these scary truths? We can be friends in fashion.

Consider your impact. Whenever you’re eyeing new trends, cleaning out your closet, considering a purchase or making one you have an opportunity to ask yourself some questions that will benefit Mother Earth.

Is this piece fast fashion? Was it made ethically? Will I wear it more than a few times, or is it headed to the donation pile after a disco-themed pool party? Is it made from a synthetic material? Am I contributing to emissions because it has to fly to me on an airplane, and then get trucked in a car?

Do what you can to be a pal to our planet.

Donate anything you can. Try buying one ethically made (probably pricier) piece, instead of three fast fashion ones. Support your friends’ local businesses and shop in their boutiques instead of buying online, which requires shipping. Buy handmade things from members of the community. Go thrifting.

And enjoy this dreamy collaborative spread by aforementioned ethical brand, Meg Parry Show and Wearing Maia. megparrystudio.com | maialillford.wixsite.com/wearingmaia
