More isn’t always more. For our 2026 spring fashion feature, we were craving a clean, paired-down setting that let the clothing speak for itself.
“The idea of a cutout, style guide-esque shoot is something we’ve dreamed of executing for a while. I loved incorporating notes about the looks and pieces from the stores we work with, since the shoot truly reflects a collaboration between their visions and mine,” stylist and editorial contributor Josie Burnett says.
When assembling this month’s issue, it wasn’t lost on us that we were getting a firsthand look at Little Rock’s long game.
“We get to work with pillars of the community and Little Rockers working to make things better for others locally and statewide. It’s so inspiring to see people take up the torch on events that are central to the philanthropy scene in our city year after year,” art director Emma Devine says of our cover story with The Centers supporters Morgan and Layne Hatcher.
“And what was so great about getting to photograph 33 of the Diamond & Studs kids for Home for Healing was seeing the next generation feel the call to do the same,” she adds. “Must be something in the water!”
“The issue isn’t lack of ambition. It’s the mounting pressure of systems that haven’t kept pace with the realities of modern working families.”

This little beauty? We haven’t stopped staring since our fashion photo shoot, especially after we got to chat with its designer, Elyce Arons, who just happens to be this year’s Bolo Bash featured guest. Once you’re done ogling, don’t skip our convo with the co-founder of Kate Spade and Frances Valentine.
