The Alice

Alice Trahant Phillips is an art lover, contemporary artist, jewelry designer, and art consultant. Raised in the vibrant and chaotic New Orleans, her works are as lively and diverse as a jazz parade, reflecting her deep love for music and her hometown’s rich culture.

Alice divides her time between Atlanta, Georgia, and New Orleans, Louisiana, but her influence and presence extend far beyond these cities. Her friends describe her as wholehearted, easygoing, fun-loving, bold yet tasteful, driven, fierce, adventurous, kind, and nurturing. Essentially, she’s the human version of that perfect playlist—always hitting the right notes.

We met at a pop-up in 2021, and it was like meeting a kindred spirit. We instantly clicked, and soon enough, we were entrepreneur "work wives," constantly plotting the next big event, pop-up, or giveaway. Recently, we even taught a workshop together on social media. 

Alice's raw honesty and infectious smile lights up the room. She’s the kind of person whose hard work and genuine nature are endlessly inspiring. Plus, her wit is sharper than a brand-new set of kitchen knives.

The design of the Alice scarf is like stepping inside her brain—colorful, dynamic, and full of life. The vibrant patterns are a nod to her boldness and the endless adventure that defines her life. The bold shapes on the scarf are inspired by her signature necklace style, filled with geometric and vibrant beads. The snake on the border is a wink to one of her newest and most daring necklace designs. It’s like wearing a kaleidoscope of joy and creativity around your neck.

In the center of the scarf -  a whimsical touch—a woman swinging on a beaded necklace while holding a martini. This playful element captures Alice's fun-loving and adventurous spirit. Clouds and rhythmic patterns dance together, symbolizing her whimsical yet profound approach to art and life. Bold colors and geometric shapes weave through the design, reflecting her ability to blend fun and sophistication seamlessly.

Every thread in this scarf tells a story of Alice’s journey and her incredible spirit. This isn’t just a piece of fabric; it’s a wearable tribute to a woman who marches to the beat of her own drum and invites everyone else to join the parade. Through this design, I honor Alice and the remarkable impact she has on my life and countless others.

And here’s the cherry on top: a portion of the proceeds from the Alice collection will go to Battle for the Brain, supporting a cause that's as vital as the creative spirit Alice embodies.

So here’s to Alice, the creative dynamo with a heart of gold and a mind that never stops buzzing. This scarf is for you, Alice—thank you for being a beacon of color, joy, and wit in a world that desperately needs it.
