For any designer, the opportunity to dress one of today’s biggest stars would be a welcome thrill. But for Brooklyn-based artist Kelsey Randall, the chance to create not one, but two custom looks for Taylor Swift was a real dream come true. “When I launched my brand 10 years ago, the first name on the top of my list of people I wanted to dress was always Taylor Swift,” she shared on her Instagram this morning, letting her followers into the process behind the showgirl’s custom chainmail dress.
Designed for “The Fate of Ophelia” music video, which premiered in theaters as part of Swift’s Party of a Showgirl film, the appropriately named “Ophelia” dress was fashioned with a gold chain halter neckline and dramatic open back silhouette. Randall and her team intricately constructed the piece with clear chainmail discs, each encrusted with rhinestones and gemstones in shades of purple, orange, and yellow. To finish it off, fringe tassels fell from discs in varying lengths, creating a cascading waterfall miniskirt. Styled by Joseph Cassell, the piece was pared with iridescent heels, fishnet ankle socks, and shiny pink nails for a look fit for a showgirl.
If that wasn’t enough, Swift also wore a green-tinted look in a similar style from Randall, with a V-shaped hem made of crystal prisms, in The Life of a Showgirl album photography by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. “It has truly been the honor of my career to design for my favorite artist,” the designer shared, calling the collaboration a “fashion girl’s dream.”
