ASOS Magazine March 2012: Elizabeth Olsen by Todd Cole

2012-01-30T16:08:00.000Z

The March 2012 issue of of ASOS Magazine features cover star, Elizabeth Olsen, the 22-year-old American actress and “indie queen” was shot exclusively by ASOS and photographer Todd Cole at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in NY (one of her favorite spots in the city). As the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Elizabeth was the star of the Sundance Film Festival 2011 for Martha Marcy May Marlene. Elizabeth wears a MiH aztec jacket and Elizabeth & James striped silk ella blouse on the cover. Also wears an ASOS long sleeve breton top inside

On being the Elizabeth in her sisters’ clothing line Elizabeth & James:“In my mind, that was, ‘Oh cool, that means I get free clothes!’ For two years, I didn’t buy anything. But even as a little kid...I had all their hand-me-downs.

On her style:Inspired by Celine, Chanel, Isabel Marant and Marni – “I thought it was masculine and quirky and funky.”

www.ASOS.com/magazine

On her upbringing:“I did lead a very charmed life growing up, but I was aware of the things that were abnormal. The only time I flrew first-class as a kid was when my sisters did these cruises called ‘Sail With The Stars.’ They were the main event...other than that, never.”

On her famous last name:“A lot of casting directors didn’t make the connection at first. I loved it when that would happen, because there was no baggage of any kind, whether it was good or bad...I’ve always wanted to feel like everything I did, I worked hard for, because I had a complex about it.”

On Martha Marcy May Marlene:“Every script (I was sent) was ‘funny ironic’ because the girls were sluts or bitches...I don’t know how to act that. I have a really hard time playing those parts. (Martha) felt like doing real work, and that’s why I liked it...it was the best experience I’ve ever had working...no bullshitting.”

Most surreal career moment so far:Meeting her idol Woody Allen. “I have a vintage Annie Hall movie poster than an ex-boyfriend bought me in high school, the only movie poster I own.”

On her famous family:“Mary-Kate and Ashley have celebrated my birthday with me every year since I’ve been in New York, my last four birthdays, and it’s been so special. Or when you have a fight with a boyfriend or a friend, or whatever, they’re here.”

ALICE by Temperley, Talent with Pre-Fall 2012

2012-01-24T20:10:00.000Z

House of Temperley launches 'ALICE by Temperley, Talent'; a seasonal project debuting with Pre Fall 2012, aimed to support and cultivate young and upcoming talent through the collaborative creative medium of film.

The brainchild of Alice Temperley, the project seeks to nurture and promote raw talent to a wider audience, merging fashion with art.

"I am always on the lookout for new talent and love being inspired by unique skills and meeting artisans with passion for their craft. ALICE by Temperley is our contemporary line whose muses are iconic artists in the history of film, music or art. It was appropriate to dedicate space and time to promote emerging talent through the platforms and audiences we have available to us, supporting the future icons" Alice Temperley, MBE

Inspired behind Pre-Fall Collection: The ALICE by Temperley Pre Fall 2012 collection is inspired by the French icon, Brigitte Bardot. A monochrome palette of black, white, soft greys and navy is bought to life with vivid pops of red. Sharp tuxedo suiting sits effortlessly alongside vintage floral prints and feminine cocktail dresses. Clean leather separates with delicate metal studs work back to signature lace groups and embroidered tulles, giving a tougher edge where desired while tailored pieces in animal print are a new take on daywear.

Each season will see a different talent collaborated with such as a musician, singer, artist, illustrator, performer or actor, to represent the collection and invite them to personalize it and interpret it in their fashion with footage exposure on temperleylondon.com and supported through Facebook and Twitter.

The debut ALICE by Temperley, Talent film features unsigned singer/songwriter Isabel Rosa who Alice Temperley discovered at an impromptu gig at the Temperley family Glastonbury Cider Bus.

Behind the Talent: Born of a Yorkshire mother and Chilean father, Isabel has a conversely extraordinarily delicate but powerful look to match her voice. With an ethereal, powerful voice, she has already been likened to Florence and The Machine, PJ Harvey and Pattie Smith.

Her debut music video, produced as part of ALICE by Temperley, Talent, is co-directed by Matilda Temperley and Henry Temperley. The three minute film, to the track Kiss Me Madder, is shot on location in East London, Golborne Road and Somerset. All clothing is from the ALICE by Temperley Pre Fall 2012 collection.

At the close of 2011, Isabel recorded her debut, self-titled EP, on which she plays all the instruments and does all the choirs with her own voice. The powerful songs sit together in a wonderful state of suspension, "The music is more about getting through stuff, than being beaten", says Isabel, "and the human capability to carry on, that experiences are enriching, deeply sad, but brilliantly sad".

Gig dates 3rd Feb Brighton, 8th Feb The Ivy House, Peckham, London, 12th Febuary The Harrison, London, 15th 22nd Feb German tour

Isabel Rosa's launch track Kiss Me Madder can be downloaded at www.soundcloud.com/isabelrosa
