Cali Rand

We are delighted to continue our collaboration with admired stylist and photographer Cathy Kasterine, this time with her friend, garden designer and model Cali Rand. Shooting on the streets around the Marfa Stance HQ and the graphic pavements of Trellick Tower, we are taking beauty from the concrete lines and textures. Cali embodies a more graphic representation of Marfa which recalls AbEx influences and minimalist expressions and progressions inspired by Judd. She brings colour blocking and monochrome in the clothes and exudes her strong feminine energy.

Cali grew up on a rural farm near Cambridge and trained in Printed Textiles at Central St. Martins. She was soon persuaded to pursue modelling by her good friend Twiggy, after her first gig walking in Stella McCartney’s graduate show. Cali left her studies and went on to walk for Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga in the 90s and worked with renowned photographers such as Peter Lindbergh, Nathanial Goldberg, Mikaal Jansson for the likes of French and Spanish Vogue and British Elle.

After two years she returned to finish her studies and went on to work as a textile designer. In 2010 Cali qualified in Garden Design at The English Gardening School, and continues to design gardens between London and Somerset (where she is now based), returning to an instinctive love of natural beauty.
