'I love people that make an effort; the old woman in the
supermarket with the frilly leopard-print outfit on, that's who I
want to look at and follow around.' Alice Hawkins Displaying an
uncommon flair for storytelling that imbues each image with a sense
of the sublime, Alice Hawkins's work explores the importance of
individuality, role play, dressing up, fantasy and playfulness, all
of which have become hallmarks of her career. Her extended series
of stylized 'fashion portraits' around the world question and
ultimately celebrate beauty and the representation of those outside
of the mainstream. Her photographs for some of the world's leading
fashion magazines document men and women found on 'road trips' in
far-flung locations. For these, Hawkins works with friends, people
she sees on the street or locals whose particular style or
appearance she has sought out (and who often become friends),
rather than fashion models. Organized by location and interspersed
with short contributions from some of Hawkins's key mentors and
collaborators, Alice's Adventures is a mesmerizing and highly
original visual journey that will inspire those interested in a
fresh, contemporary approach to fashion and photography.
