We dance to the rhythm of her beating heart, and our ode to her plays through how we choose to live our lives with purpose, and through that we create.’ The certification process, which took nearly two years, involved collaboration across CAMILLA’s global teams and reflects their long-standing commitment to conscious creation, but it hasn’t got in the way of the team producing another show-stopping summer line.
