Dazeddigital.com What makes an ‘it’ fashion item? Is it when it dominates the Instagram explore page?

When it graces the red carpet on the arm of a celebrity? Or when you can’t move at a party, club, or Dazed HQ without bumping into one?

In the case of Telfar’s Shopping Bag, more commonly referred to as just the ‘Telfar bag’, all of the above is true (and then some). As recognisable as an Asai Hot Wok top and yours for less than half the price of a comedically-sized (12cm!) Jacquemus Sac Chiquito, the Telfar bag has risen to become the year’s definitive it-bag. But to put it in the same category as Chloé Paddingtons and Balenciaga City bags hardly does it justice: the work of a highly conceptual designer, and with a statement of industry-disrupting inclusivity sewn into every stitch, the Telfar bag represents much more than your average, eye-wateringly expensive tote.

ALEALI MAY

TIFFANY & CO. DOVER STREET MARKET LOS ANGELES

6 THE MODERN DECEMBER 2020

THEMODERN.COM

Aleali — pronounced uh.lay.ee, as she politely informs all on Instagram — is the world’s most famous female sneakerhead (well, since 90s-era Mel C). Her track record includes being the second woman to collaborate with Jordan in its 34-year history, the first woman ever to design Jordan sneakers in both men's and women's sizes and being a stylist to the likes of Kendrick Lemar and Tinashe. But what makes Aleali so enticing is her story of humble beginnings.

California born, Aleali May first entered the fashion industry whilst studying at Columbia College Chicago. At just 19 years old, she secured a part-time job at Louis Vuitton and was later hired by RSVP gallery — a Chicago-based boutique created by Virgil Abloh and Don C. Fast-forward seven years and the fashion triple threat (ambitiously juggling careers as a stylist, model and designer) is now lucky enough to count Virgil as a friend.

Just like Micheal Jordan himself, Aleali May is a poster girl for the power of a success-driven mindset. She oozes determination, has great zeal for sneaker culture and is confident enough to speak her mind. Spearheading a generation of women who are as engrossed by streetwear as their male counterparts; just one stalk of May’s Insta feed is enough to convince even the most sceptical that sneakers are as much as a women’s game as they are a man’s.

We caught up with ‘Her Airness’ (on the beach, as you do) to talk influences, achievements and all things Air Jordan.

How would you describe your style?

My style is a mix between streetwear and high-end fashion mixed with 90s hip-hop/R&B and ‘vampire’ avant-garde — but I always keep it LA. What’s been your proudest professional achievement?

My proudest achievement was designing my first shoe, the Aleali May Satin Shadow Air Jordan 1, back in October 2017.

You’ve breathed new life into the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 6 silhouettes. Which other Jordan models would you love to experiment with?

I would love to experiment with the higher number Jordans, something that people wouldn’t expect.

Women around the world are inspired by your outfits, but who inspires you?

My mom and family, Aaliyah, Pharrell, Nigo, Phoebe Philo, Rick Owens, Allen Iverson, 2Pac, Andre 3000 and Missy Elliot to name a few!

What is one essential sneaker that everyone should own and why?

An Air Jordan because they all provide comfort, style, history, heritage, street and lux.

What can we expect to see in the future from Jordan x Aleali May? More representation for women in a male-dominated society.
