More Movie Fashion Inspiration

By Alexandra Stylist | November 11th, 2009

Can you recognize this actor? Bet you can’t put your finger on it. It’s Jude Law as Minx in the movie RAGE set in the fashion industry. I love that Jude has the kahunas to play a ‘model’ and does such a hilarious Russian accent. His different looks are strong, striking, and playful.The movie was […]

Shot in Soho

By Alexandra Stylist | November 11th, 2009

What a wild ride. I’ve got a cameo in this short film shot by my very talented friend Abigail Shagwell Pope who is currently filming her cult film to be The Hunt for the Good Americans. I can’t wait to see it. But meanwhile you can enjoy this short film which shows a slice of […]

Black is the new Black??? WTF

By Alexandra Stylist | November 6th, 2009

So I did black in a Donna Karan secretary sort of a way as a 12 year old but when I discovered that black did nothing for my coloring I banished it from my wardrobe. So when I hear people making such a fuss over black I laugh to myself because it is a myth […]

WIP Halloween

By Alexandra Stylist | November 2nd, 2009

The Halloween joie de vivre has returned. Last two years I suffered from costume malaise due to lack of inspiration and fallback of the flapper costume. Hard to be excited about costumes every year because ‘STYLISTS LIVE COSTUMES ALL YEAR’-Scott Shuster I went as a Work in Progress (WIP) which is a big switch from […]

Confessions,

one size does not fit all

By Alexandra Stylist | October 30th, 2009

Junior high was awkward for me but made even more awkward by my unique sense of style. The lines Multiples and Units (both started by Sandra Garrett) were battling it out in the market place as I was dealing with having my hair pulled by Kevin Cohen. But back to me..I was a total mall […]

Jewelry Low to High

By Alexandra Stylist | October 22nd, 2009

In the world adornment in the form of jewelry is everywhere. It is truly a universal craft. I’m a big fan as most women. I would like to highlight 3 companies that I have recently discovered. *Marc Bernstein I found at the Designer Market on the weekend on Mulberry Street. He makes necklaces and belts […]

Lady Gaga Lifting Looks?

By Alexandra Stylist | October 22nd, 2009

So I’m watching a very classic but slow moving French film called ‘Last year at Marienbad‘ and although I have the slight feeling of a bad deja vu from the film I’m loving the costumes. It’s a black and white film so her outfits are either BLACK or WHITE. But one in particular strikes me […]

Ruffles go round

By Alexandra Stylist | October 18th, 2009

Ruffles are nothing new to the fashion scene. Men used to wear ruffled shirts at Versailles and I found a wonderful ruffle inspiration on Catherine Spaak in the 1969 movie The Libertine. To me it looks like a Ralph Lauren shirt. So I’m still loving ruffles and I love that all these wonderful companies are […]

Adventures in hipsterland at the ACE

By Alexandra Stylist | October 16th, 2009

Last night a gaggle of girls and I assembled at the Ace to check out the Thursday night scene. Ok we were a large group of 10 almost like a bachlorette party but without the hideous veil. Again I was struck by the ambiance and décor-as if I’m hanging out in my older brother’s dorm […]
