Photographer, chef, gardener, interior designer, shop keeper, mother, grandmother, wife...all these monikers do not begin to encompass the talents and pursuits of our dear friend Lindy. This week she came by the shop to try on the new Fall Collection by Proche, adding model and muse to her list!

Lindy can wear clothes like no one else we know, is an avid collector of Navajo rugs and lives between Marfa and Little Compton, Rhode Island. We chatted with her about creative endeavors while she put together looks from Proche's fall pieces. Featuring deadstock cottons & vintage denim in effortless silhouettes we thought the NY-based brand would be perfect for Lindy paired with her collection of Navajo rugs, now for sale at Garza.

GARZA: You’re a photographer, house and garden designer & collector, among many pursuits. Do you feel like these are all part of the same creative project ? 

LINDY: Each is an integral & equally important part of who I am. I like having different & separate endeavors to be involved with. It keeps me going...

GARZA: When did you first start taking pictures ? And how about designing spaces and collecting rugs ?

LINDY: I first started making photographs when I was 16. I had an amazing teacher, Joyce Neimanis who shot a lot in Nigeria. I found her and her work fascinating. She was my inspiration! Designing spaces, always. My Mother & I were constantly moving furniture around the house, painting things, transforming environments. So much fun!

GARZA: Can you tell us something about your Navajo rug collection ? How it came to be ? Are you still on the hunt for them ? 

LINDY: Collecting Navajo pieces started when I was 15. I would go to these huge, amazing rummage sales in Winnetka, outside of Chicago, where I grew up. This yearly event was a highlight for finding treasures. The first Navajo blanket that I spotted at a rummage sale had a tag on it that said Indian design. It was 5 dollars. They had no idea what it was and I didn’t really either. All I knew was that it was the most incredible piece of woven beauty I had ever seen and I had to have it. My grandmother appraised it for me and we found out it was from the late 1800s. I still own it. For me, there's an inherent soul in each woven piece and a reminder of those who came before us. And YES, I will always be on the hunt for them!

GARZA: You lived in Germany for many years, how did this influence you? 

LINDY: Living in Germany, being exposed to everything in Europe was a very expansive experience and transformed me into another being in every way. It was like living in a fairy tale which certainly affected my creativity. I loved it!

GARZA: What are you currently excited about working on right now ? You mentioned working with your photo archive and also setting up a loom for weaving.

LINDY: My photo archive needs my attention now, after years of building, renovating and tweaking spaces. It’s a documentation of my whole life. Also, I want to weave again, which I studied a long time ago. I'm planning to set up a loom in my Marfa space soon. Exciting.

GARZA: What do you love about Garza Marfa & about Marfa itself ?

LINDY: Constance and Jamey’s collections
are a reflection of their warmth, generosity and good taste. They create textiles and furniture that you want to live with and have in your home. What do I love about Marfa? The people, The landscape, The art, The community. A very special place on this earth.
