Behind the Scenes of La Coqueta: A Peek into the AW24 Festive Collection

In late August, the La Coqueta team gathered in the stunning English countryside to bring to life our upcoming AW24 Festive Collection. The grand location, with its stately charm, provided the perfect backdrop for the photo shoot, blending classic elegance with the warmth and joy of the holiday season.

The models, ranging from tiny babies to energetic 8-year-olds, arrived full of excitement (and some nervous energy) for two days of festive fun. Although the weather outside was still warm and summery, inside the shoot, Christmas magic was in full swing. The team transformed the space with glittering garlands, twinkling lights, and, of course, a festive tree—a sight that felt amusingly out of place with the bright sunshine streaming through the windows.

Capturing the joy and wonder of the holiday season was the mission, and the team had plenty of playful moments to choose from. However, as with all shoots involving young children, there were some funny challenges along the way! One of the most memorable moments came when the little ones discovered the Christmas crackers and presents. Their excitement quickly turned into confusion, and even a few meltdowns, when they realised that the crackers didn’t snap and the presents were just empty props.

Another hilarious moment was the arrival of the tree itself. While everyone tried to create the cosy spirit of Christmas, the team couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the festive decorations amidst the summer heat. One little boy asked, "Why are we putting up a tree in summer?"

But perhaps the funniest scene was when all the kids decided they *had* to beep the horn of the vintage car used as a prop. The moment they discovered the car, there was no turning back—the excitement was infectious, and the crew worked around the delightful chaos, capturing shots between bursts of giggles and honking horns. Through it all, the La Coqueta team worked their magic, ensuring that every shot of the AW24 Festive Collection radiated the spirit of joy, laughter, and celebration. Behind the camera, the process was anything but quiet, but in front of it, the images speak of a beautiful, serene holiday season.

Discover the finished masterpiece in all its festive glory—our AW24 Festive Collection is now available to explore in our Digital Catalogue! From the tiniest details to the stunning outfits, you'll find all the magic of the season waiting for you and your little ones.
