Harmonic Highlights – June 2024

June 21, 2024 – “Strawberry Moon”

June’s full Moon—typically the last full Moon of spring or the first of summer—has traditionally been called the Strawberry Moon. This name has been used by various Native American tribes to mark the ripening of “June-bearing” strawberries that are ready to be gathered. As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many.- Almanac.com

HH Welcome’s Brandon D. to the Team

Meet Brandon Dominique, the new Harmonic Harvest Store Director!

As the new Harmonic Harvest HQ Store Director, I am committed to providing my unique skills in Brand Development, Product Marketing, Project Management and Event Coordination; utilizing my experiences in branding, fashion & high-end retail. Milwaukee is the place I was born and raised in so this role will be the most impactful one so far.

Whether it is designing a fashion collection, coordinating an impactful social gathering, or collaborating with a reputable organization like Harmonic Harvest, my experiences in advocating for independent creatives and being a leader in my community uniquely position me to take strides toward realizing my dreams of a positive, more thriving Milwaukee.

Hidden talent: I can raise each one of my eyebrows back-to-back (you’d be surprised at the amount of people who cannot)

Update: HH Europe Recap Coming Soon!

Dear Readers,

We’re thrilled to share highlights from our recent journey across Europe! Jenna Washuleski and Kayla Green embarked on an unforgettable trip to France and Rome, representing Harmonic Harvest. From the glamour of Cannes Film Festival with Bottega Veneta to the intimate insights at Fendi’s historic atelier, each experience left us inspired and eager to share.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll delve into our adventures: from exclusive tours and meetings at renowned fashion houses to cultural excursions through castles and local markets. Stay tuned for our firsthand accounts of meeting artisans, exploring centuries-old archives, and even a surprise moment after our private tour at the Vatican.

Join us as we recount moments at Kering’s Women in Motion Dinner and Bulgari’s 140th anniversary celebrations, where Jenna’s spontaneity brought unexpected joy to our journey by starting the dance floor and saving the High Jewelry Fashion Show. Alongside these stories, we’ll detail our visits to iconic landmarks like the Pantheon, Renaissance Ruins and Gardens, and the Spanish Steps.

Get ready for a series of blog posts that capture the essence of our European odyssey. We can’t wait to share our insights and memories with you!

Warm regards,

Jenna & Kayla
