“I’m not messy, I’m experimental.” It’s Episode 8 of The Most podcast and Raphaële Lenseigne - the super talented artist and creative director behind cult footwear label Adult. - is here to drop golden nuggets left and right. Sitting down with Dominique in the loft, Raphaële discusses the genesis and evolution of her evocative ‘Shapes of Rafa’ project, exploring and blurring staid notions of gender and finding your spot in the fashion industry as a young starter.
This indomitable spirit graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp Fashion Department in 2017 alongside solar flares like Rushemy Botter (Nina Ricci, BOTTER), Wujic Jo (Berluti), Sofie Nieuwborg (Balenciaga), Nastasia Fine (Olivier Theyskens) and Sanan Gasanov. On this episode, Raphaële lays out her journey from the school daze/days to finding her footing (pun intended) with Adult. plus she lays out her quest to #claimtheeggplant with humour and heart as ‘Rafa’. Growing up in between France, Abu Dhabi & Stockholm, Raphaële takes us to her rebirth in Antwerp and shares an important life lesson she got from Dries Van Noten. She talks about the importance of expressing your needs as a creator, growth and so much more goodness. Plus you’ll find out what drops you can expect soon from the brilliantly defiant Adult.
