It’s always pleasure to work with amazingly talented people, who share a similar passion for fashion. We get to meet many designers, art directors, and marketing managers throughout the year, and one of our favorites is a brand called Becasa. Located in the panhandle area of Florida, Becasa has 2 retail locations, and is rapidly expanding their online presence with ShopBecasa.com. I got a call from the owner of Becasa and we went over how they had decided to head to Miami for their new Spring 2024 collection campaign. We photographed all the new items at VSP Studios and then moved on to do the lifestyle location images at the beach. We decided to use a suite at the Plymouth Hotel as base camp, so we could allow the models and crew to get dialed in. After hair and make up was set we headed to Allison Park near 65th Street, Miami Beach. Lots of great back ground options here, and so this park has become my new go to spot.
Emily Raffield, the creative force behind BECASA, came from the sunny shores of Florida. Emily's unique style is a blend of her coastal upbringing and an eye for the dialed-in fashion edge of our favorite global city trends. Emily has crafted a brand that captures the essence of coastal living with effortless elegance.
Her exclusive line, BECASA, began in 2018, and soon after, the flagship BECASA locations in Apalachicola and Inlet Beach, Fla., opened. Their shops immediately caught the hearts of women looking to embrace the same magic of the coast and create lifestyles they were equally inspired by. The BECASA label embraces natural fibers, beautiful lines, ease of fit, and comfort—often oversized for a lived-in, beachside look. Accessories are forever materials: heavy gold, good straw and raffia, and leather. Their extensive offering of homewares is meant to inspire the world-traveling collector in us all.
BECASA is more than just a label; it's a reflection of Emily's passion for authentic experiences and meaningful connections. As she says, “BECASA is just an expression of myself; it's all of the things that I love, and I wanted to create and give those things to other women for them to love as well." . The brand transcends more than fashion; it's a conduit for shared passions, empowering women to embrace their individuality and cherish the moments that truly matter.
Rooted in classic silhouettes and luxurious natural fibers, As Emily puts it, “Our line not only embraces the sandy beach days but dock sitting, late-night bonfires, and boat rides—the real face of the coast. We allow ourselves to relax." BECASA invites you to unwind and savor life's precious moments, where every garment tells a story of sun-kissed days and salt-sprayed adventures.
