E D I T O R _ S L E T T E R
I have noticed that two things happen when you live through an era of rapid change, as we are now. Firstly, there is an inevitable surge of artistic creativity and second the misfits, the contrarians, the underdogs and the anti-heroes come into their own. We witness the rise of the rebel: those who don’t play by the normal rules, who flourish in chaotic, unpredictable times and welcome uncertainty without fear. This January of ALINE is dedicated to those people, the curious revolutionaries who think differently. We’ve made a magazine to celebrate them and give these important, varied new voices a place to talk about who they are and what they do. Of course this is just a sneack peack of their incredible work. I watched as the momentum surged while we put the pages together and the team, fuelled it has to be said by all manner of chocolate treats and epic playlists, began to get ever more excited collating all the content we had created it felt special to be giving every page such lengthy care and attention. So now it’s over to you. What do you think of this issue? What do you like and what is missing? Let us know on the @ALINEMAG Twitter and we’ll see what we can deliver in our forthcoming issues.

About
Kelsey Randall was raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and fondly remembers begging her mother to buy her bridal magazines, from which she would study trends, cutting out her favorite images to make collages. After first encountering McQueen’s work, she completely fell in love with the drama and beauty of his runway shows and designs, knowing from that moment that she wanted to be a fashion designer. Kelsey attended the Parsons School of Design (Class of 2009), winning the Parsons Critic’s Choice Award in 2008, and also founded “The Underground Runway” 14
during her time there in order to provide senior students with the chance to showcase their work independent of the school. While interning at Bill Blass, she worked under both Prabal Gurung and Peter Som. Kelsey also worked at French womenswear brand Lilith for nine years, during which she gained extensive experience in wholesale and brand management. She launched the Kelsey Randall line in the fall of 2015, for which she designs and drapes every piece of the collection, makes all the patterns, sews the muslins, and does the fittings in her Bushwick studio – all of which contributes to her strong dedication to ethical fashion. The collection is made in NYC at A&H Couture, with Leather Work done by Barry Martin Fashions, both of whom are based in the Garment District. Fabrics are sourced from Europe and Japan, and every piece is cut to order.

Eeach piece of the collection is manufactured in New York City. The factory is one of the premier luxury womenswear manufacturers in the city, whose clients include Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, Christian Siriano, Zac Posen, and Carolina Herrera. In addition, Kelsey’s brand works with a team of Brooklyn-based seamstresses to create custom and BESPOKE pieces. Moreover a great attention is paid to the fabrics, trims, and hardware, which are sourced from reputable mills and factories in Europe and Japan.

Kelsey Randall’s custom made-to-order pieces redefine the couture scene for a younger, cooler crowd of consumers. Proving she’s got the range, Randall’s designs include romantic babydoll dresses, music festival-ready ensembles (many a Coachella looks waiting to happen), bridal gowns, mermaid-inspired bralettes, and even a rhinestone cowboy hat thrown in for good measure. Though her designs have already been worn on-stage by Lorde, we’re betting the Brooklyn designer’s bespoke creations will gain more momentum in the next year.

On
how she got her start.
“I always knew I wanted to do something creative. I was really into art and fashion. I went to a boarding school in Napa Valley, that was arts based so that really helped me to build my portfolio and decide to I want to follow art or fashion. In the end I ultimately decided on fashion because art was something I could always continue to evolve with but fashion is a trade you have to learn. You can’t just make up how to do pattern design. I really just wanted to study it.” On
her southern
influences.
“I don’t know how Atlanta factors into my collections except for maybe gingham and ruffles which are very country girl. New York is really where I wanted to be, and I definitely had some growing pains as far as wanting to get to the big city so that really influences my work. One of my big influences is Louise Bourgeois, she’s French but

there’s something countryside, and nostalgia for childhood there. I love ruffles and bows and that sort of stuff.” On the running business . “Mostly wholesale is what taught me what I needed to learn to start my own business. They don’t teach you that in school. Most people tend to have a business partner when they start, I studied fashion in school and then the past few years have really been just me getting this business off the ground. I graduated from Parson’s in 2009 and no one was hiring for assistant design positions so I decided to learn the business in the meantime. I wanted to sustain more than one collection.” On
diversity in fashion.
“Diversity in the industry is important to me. I feel strongly about that. I want my campaigns to reflect my girl. When you cast like that it makes it seem like that’s who you think buys your clothes and that’s just not what my line is. I’m a little bit more realistic about what people want to actually wear. They want a dress that they can wear again. There needs to be an ease.”

Sand is composed by lots of different and unique grains classified by size and shape, in configuration tions that range from oblong and sharply angular to nearly spherical and smooth. What happened when we try to create big shapes inspired in the sand grains? This is how the studio decided to experiment sand. A mix of materials, a mix of smells, a mix of memories.

The Gift Hotel In order to launch their latest collection, Inditex group’s brand Massimo Dutti have turned to Barcelona-based agency Six N. Five, founded by young creative duo Andy Reisinger and Ezequiel Pini and they created the Gift Hotel. Massimo Dutti needed to solve a problem: Show 5 featured articles of their new collection: a pair of shoes, a backpack, cufflinks, a clutch and a briefcase. The studio came up with the concept of The Gift Hotel, a place where while you enjoy walking across colorful and perfectly curated little halls, big restyled old buildings and artificial shopping sets.

A pleasing and misterious jazz melody accompanies the launch of the products, showcased within bare, minimalist, geometrically outlined spaces. Soft, two-color pastel hues – perhaps a tribute to Wes Anderson’s imaginary– come to life through the presence of apparently alien objects, such as yoga balls and flying carpets, until other items eventually appear: shoes, bags and backpacks. Animated and directed by Sebastian Baptista, the creators also show the developing process in a video where we see the original 3D model created for the different clips.

What’s the state of the illustration industry/community in your country? Are you actively involved in a community of artists? Is there a booming industry where you’re located? Every year many artists sponsor the illustration fair in Bologna. Unfortunately, the field of illustration is underestimated in Italy. We have great artists here, but they work for Spanish or French companies. In these countries, the illustration field has achieved its importance. I am not involved in any artists’ community. However, I have been signed on the register of illustrators just for one year. It was an award for an illustration competition (subwayletterature). Do you illustrate full time? Is it your only interest? Yes, I illustrate full time but I have several interests. I enjoy going to the cinema and I am bewitched by the power of music and its influence on human souls.

I love drawing women, the female body, especially the faces. I have been a hyperrealist portraitist for years, then I found my own style. I like drawing with less color and more imagination. I think that my work can be suitable for press and fashion. What’s your medium of choice? Watercolors, eco-line, ink and especially the pencil. What’s your typical work process? Can you brefiely explain it? I get inspiration from pictures I like where faces or gazes strike me. At the beginning I use a pencil then I color the figure with inks and watercolors. I use much water because in this way the color produces a casual effect. I also love ink and eco-lines effects.

rock Elbank is a photographer. Born in England, currently living in the London, United Kingdom. He began his career shooting women’s fashion. Working in the UK, US and Australia, For nearly a decade, Elbank lived in Sydney where his work became more art based, moving away from professional models and exploring everyday characters and objects, celebrating the idiosyncratic beauty of imperfect features.

the Freckles Project Brock Elbank believes that beneath the surface, everybody lives with some level of insecurity about their looks. But for many of his portrait subjects, their striking looks make them stand out, whether they like it or not. Through his unique photo projects, Brock is on a mission to celebrate their diversity and encourage acceptance in the process. “I don’t think you can take a good portrait of someone in a controlled environment without having some knowledge of that person’s character. When I do photograph people, speaking with them beforehand has to be part of the process. I’m genuinely interested in what people have to say.”

Portraits part of the Freckles series
_
Lond-based photographer Brock Elbank with his Freckles Project wants to celebrate beauty and, since mid-2015, he has succeeded with 90 striking portraits. “I’ve always loved freckles,” said Elbank. “What I find interesting about individual characters that I have been fortunate enough to photograph is that many have struggled with their freckles since their infancy and either hated them, or grown to live with them or even like them in adulthood.” While some may use his subjects’ differences as a poor excuse to behave unkindly, Brock finds himself drawn towards unique individuals and sees beauty in diversity. When he sets out to tackle a photographic project, it’s because he’s genuinely interested in the individuality of his subjects. 43
