My Universe: Bo Carney

   

Bo Carney knows a thing or two about the world of fashion and design. Alongside her husband Kevin, the couple run multiple boutiques in Los Angeles, famously known as Mohawk General Store. Bo also designs their effortless and classic, in house label, SMOCK. As an avid traveler and a seeker of beauty, Bo finds inspiration from simple, day-to-day moments, to new landscapes, film, and her community. She shares them with us, here, in a collection we call Bo's Universe.
