The Nature Calls collection of apparel is one that is inspired by people who find their lives and meaning outside, whether it be for pleasure, their profession or somewhere in between. This season, we had the honor of working with and supporting our friends Percy Dean and Lois Pendlebury in the creation of their short film, “The Shepherdess”. They are both from the UK, Percy hailing from Liverpool and Lois from Bradford, their lives having been intertwined for years through the UK skate scene. Reunited in an entirely different setting, their film is a beautiful vignette into Lois’ life as a former pro skateboarder turned shepherdess in the French alps. Watch the full film, read our interview with Lois about her life as "The Shepherdess" and explore the new Nature Calls collection.

By partnering with 13 of the best skate shops from around the world, each shop had the opportunity to send a local skater from their community to attend the Polo Ralph Lauren x Element Polo Country Skate Camp near Portland, Oregon USA this summer. 
 
These young skaters spent the week skating with Element pros and immersed themselves in the vast natural surroundings of the Mt. Hood National Forest at the Seek Skate Camp facility. In the blog, meet all the skaters and watch the “Skate Camp” short film about their unforgettable experience.

Browse through some of the campers' 35mm film photos they took at our Polo Ralph Lauren x Element Polo Country Skate Camp, with the help of THRASHER Mag photographer Joe Brook.
