Vivier met Sophie through a casting agent around four years ago. “I was looking for a very athletic woman for a photoshoot,” she recounts. “When I met Sophie, I was not only fascinated by her powerful, sculptural body but I was also drawn to her face which is sweet, feminine and tender. I felt that Sophie had a lot to say through her bodybuilding practice – it is, or at the time was, a reconstruction of herself in both an allegorical and a physical sense.”

Sophie embodies many of the qualities that the photographer seeks to convey through her work: the architectural nature of the bodybuilder’s form encapsulates both the subject and object dynamic that so intrigues Vivier, while simultaneously blurring the boundaries between preconceived notions of femininity and masculinity. “I felt that by reshaping herself with a very intimate, strong and personal motivation to feel good and comfortable with her own image, Sophie was reshaping the criteria of what the feminine body is supposed to be.” (Another Magazine)

“Every time I order from Son of Rand, it feels like stepping into a beautifully curated dream. The pieces always spark conversation, and even the packaging feels intentional and special. I’ve started gifting their finds to friends, and they always love them."

"Son of Rand has completely changed how I think about my home. It’s not just shopping. It’s discovering objects that make you feel something. My house has so much more soul because of y'all."

"Finding Son of Rand was like stumbling upon a secret world of design I didn’t know I needed. Everything they carry has a story and a point of view. It’s where I go when I want to be inspired, or when I need the perfect gift that actually means something."

Son of Rand is my happy place online. Their curation is bold, warm, and playful - like design should be. It’s where I find pieces that make my space feel like me, and I always end up adding one or two extra things I didn’t even know I wanted."
