May has released her first drop with lab-grown diamond company GRWN, called Metamorphosis. She wanted the pieces to feel nostalgic and, essentially, for the girls.
Aleali May loves an Easter egg. And at Paris Fashion Week last year, it was unmissable: a giant, gleaming butterfly hanging above her solar plexus at the Louis Vuitton men’s show by Pharrell Williams. A butterfly is known for its transformative qualities, is symbolic for its hero’s journey — starting as one thing and going through pain and darkness to come out the other side something bigger and more beautiful.
. At this point, she’d not only been the architect of her own looks for years — from her days working at iconic concept shop RSVP Gallery in Chicago to 424 on Fairfax — she’d also made streetwear history, becoming the first woman to design a unisex sneaker with Jordan and only the second woman to ever design a sneaker with the brand.
will be working with the rest of the year, she says its collaborators are “very much like ourselves: disruptors in a very old industry.” May’s creative process when designing a necklace or a ring isn’t that different from designing a sneaker — at least not energetically. It all boils down to the unfolding of a narrative.
, you can see a reflection of where the designer is now. “And obviously I was like, let’s get icy,” she says. We’re sitting in the lobby of the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood when I ask Aleali May about her Saturn return. There is a constant hum of people typing on their computers around us while men wearing baseball caps, joggers and long-cut thin cotton tees pace in circles taking business calls. When May descended the staircase 20 minutes earlier, there was a noticeable vibe shift.
