Kelsey Randall
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 Alexander 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” 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.
After launching her own line of custom, made-to-measure garments in 2015, Kelsey quickly a following among musicians and helped shape the style of up and coming stars like Lizzo, Suki Waterhouse and Lil Nas X. She has become the go-to designer for indie darlings such as Khruangbin, Japanese Breakfast and Charly Bliss. In 2024, she brought her design aesthetic to the larger market with her Kelsey Randall X REVOLVE collection.
Kelsey lives in Brooklyn, NY with her wife Perry, cat Jerry, dog Jimi and a rotating cast of foster dogs. She is passionate about animal rescue, rhinestones, art history, cowboy boots and live music. When she’s not on set, you can find her making chainmail while watching Law and Order or sewing a custom wedding dress with her assistant Kieri while listening to Otherworlds podcast or Era’s Tour playlist for the millionth time. Her hobbies include shopping (convenient), pilates, researching her next dream trip and Georgia football (Go Dawgs!).
