“ Hand in the clouds”

September 25, 2024

Los Angeles can be a blur – half the time you don’t even know if you’re dreaming or just surviving. Everyone’s chasing that celeb Hollywood dream, but real life’s got its own script – work, school, the everyday grind. That’s what our “Hand in the Clouds” series embodies. These puffer delights are all about mixing up that dreamy, out-of-touch feeling with the rawness of reality. It's that perfect blend – taking the Like Dreams girl from a crisp, curated studio to the beautifully chaotic streets of Chinatown, where nothing’s quite as it seems, but everything’s totally real.

Is this real life or is this, Like, Dreams

These photos capture that ideal in-between where dreams and reality blur. The studio feels light, airy, and almost too good to be real – like a soft, magical escape. Bold, confident girls are glowing, living their best lives as if they; 're floating through a day where everything just falls into place.

It's showtime. The spotlight’s all theirs, and they’re soaking it up – every camera’s on them, and they’re completely owning it. This is their moment to shine, and they know they’re unstoppable.

“Do dreams really come true?”

Life gets messy, no doubt – real struggles, real chaos. But what’s what makes you, you? Embrace the imperfections, the ups and down. There's power in owning it. Forget the filters, let’s just “be real”

Just like its name, “Hand in the Clouds”, each puffer bag is meant to bring authenticity to yourself and your dreams, traveling with you wherever you go – I go.
