Love Stories - Meghann Stephenson

Name: Meghann Stephenson

I'm an Illustrator and Co-Founder/Designer at Vacation residing in Brooklyn, New York. Watercolor illustration of apothecary bottles beside a tabby cat playing with a beaded dagger necklace on pale diamond-shaped backgrounds

Person sitting cross-legged on a table wearing jeans, a varsity jacket and scuffed white sneakers, hands with stacked rings resting on their knees

Who are you style icons?

Jane Birkin, Francoise Hardy, Lauren Hutton - they always feel timeless and iconic.

Seated woman in black-and-white wearing an open-knit crochet top, hand on thigh showing a silver cuff bracelet and oval ring

You started a brand, what is the concept behind "Vacation"?

Vacation is a mens and womenswear brand made in New York. My partner, Krys, and I just wanted to create a brand that offered modern classics with the highest quality, fit and detailing, but with a vibe that was entirely fun and unpretentious. We sourced leather and fabric from the US and small family run mills in Japan. I also made prints out of my illustrations, that we had digitally printed on fabric.

Ideal vacation? ;)

I'm dying to go to Greece or Majorca.

Front view of two watercolor book cover illustrations: left black cover with stylized lips and text 'Kiss Kiss', right beige cover with a red heart and French title on white background

What are you currently inspired by?

Vintage book covers, I've been working on a series of paintings whenever I have spare time.

Two-panel photo: a woman seated in a brown ribbed dress on a wooden chair, and a close-up of her hand with a gold signet ring

Last museum visit in New York?

Dia: Beacon

Woman's hands wearing stacked rings and a gold cuff resting on a green couch, casual jeans-and-t-shirt pose

Woman's hands resting on her knees showing two rings and a crochet sleeve in a black and white portrait

What is your every day piece of jewelry?

I always wear my Pamela Love Fine moonphase necklace, Victorian rose cut diamond gypsy ring, diamond pave band and Catbird tomboy ring and diamond baguette ring stacked together.

This second? Age of Consent by New Order

A weekend in New York I like to sleep late, watch movies all day with my cat and boyfriend, go to dinner then meet up with friends at a show.

Two black-and-white photos of Meghann: seated by a window in a striped jacket; close-up of her hands with rings and necklace

My favorite part about being an illustrator is being constantly surprised by the work that finds me and getting to work in my PJs.
