NEW YORK(SMI-WIRE,08.27.15)Rising star fashion designer, Kelsey Randall,made her     debut exhibiting her luxury collection of dresses that are meant to be treasured by the wearer and observer during important moments in their life.A Kelsey Randall design is carefully handcrafted with attention to the details that transform a beautiful  dress into an extraordinary design.

There are several reference points in Ms Randall's work.The influence of the artist Louise Bourgeous is present in both visual & visceral capacity.Bourgeous' general reverence of nostalgia,appreciation for the social signifiers inherent in clothing , and use of materials guide the design principles of Kelsey Randall's brand.

In general, the designer finds inspiration across the creative spectrum.Artistic inspiration ranges from the color palettes and sensuak spirit of Marlene Dumas' paintings, the pastoral

americana in the photographs of Francesca Woodman, to the gathering of materials to form organic landscapes employed by Tara Donovan.

The Kelsey Randall collection is created & produced in New York City to ensure that the quality of each garment and the conditions under which they are crafted is up to the high standards of the label's desired clientele.The dresses are created in fabrics such tulle,organza, silk shantung & taffeta with a retail cost depending on the clients needs.
