This month in Après Diaries, we’re peeking into the magical mind of Alice Lane, a makeup artist, model and all-around delight. Having had the pleasure of working with Alice in NYC,
we found no end to her creative charisma, craft and cleverness.
It's her world, we're just playing in it.

How do you think this has influenced who you are today?

Lots of fields, lots of time walking in them. Daydreaming/sulking. A very old town on a river that in the summertime blooms with flowers. It was very spooky and misty and old fashioned.
