Alexandria Taylor

ALEXANDRIA TAYLOR | A prior student of the School of The Art Institute of Chicago for fashion design, this young designer has had a hand in the clothing industry for more than a decade. An admitted fan of all things avant, Alexandria has coined the term avant couture for her design house. "The goal is the recreate the versatility, hands-on craftsmanship and tailoring of Parisian design houses, when a label committed to more than ready-to-wear and outfitted their followers from their bodies to their homes. We plan on reshaping the aesthetic of our primary material of choice while not limiting ourselves to it. Our debut collection was meant to show our versatility in readapting a similar aesthetic to fit more than one customer base." The designers influences and gratitude go to her friends, H+K at Strange Lifeforms in DK - who taught her the importance of quality craftsmanship and originality, Christian Lacroix, Galliano and Yojhi Yamamoto for their constant creativity.
