Yoanna Baraschi S/S 2011

By Alexandra Stylist | September 29th, 2010

Back in the day I would walk the ENK piers shows like my life depended upon it. I wanted to know every line the good, the bad, and the forgettable. Yoanna Barashi’s collection however was always memorable to me. I loved her ode to vintage and she was always charming in her demeanor. So you […]

Fashion Stylist vs. Designer-Are they the same??

By Alexandra Stylist | September 27th, 2010

I’ve realized based on recent phone calls and inquiries that there is some widespread confusion around the word “FASHION STYLIST.” Part of the issue stems from the fact that many stylists (as naturally creative people) are also fashion designers. And, some fashion designers, like Tom Ford, were actually just really good stylists. Some clarity would […]

Joanna Mastroianni S/S 2011

By Alexandra Stylist | September 27th, 2010

I’ve been a big fan of Joanna Mastroianni for several years now. I’m always surprised that she hasn’t gotten the press that Zac Posen has since she is equally talented. I especially love that she has been working out of the garment district producing gorgeous luxe clothing for over 18 years. The look is lady […]

Celestino S/S 2011

By Alexandra Stylist | September 21st, 2010

Went to view Sergio’s new collection for Celestino Couture and was met with a reality tv camera crew. Very common these days but still kinda exciting. The new collection had me super excited. Sergio is a very talented young designer who deserves way more press and fan fare. I’ve know him for a couple years […]

FNO

By Alexandra Stylist | September 20th, 2010

I love that FNO is for the pubic but it’s funny some of my friends who are not in the industry don’t seem to understand the night is for them not for me (or really those in the industry). Never the less during fashion week I took a FNO bus home and captured these pics. […]

Press quote by AlexandrA re:Tucker for Target

By Alexandra Stylist | September 20th, 2010

Another day another interview. So many times with journalists the piece doesn’t ever see the computer screen or the light of day. This one about Tucker for Target though came out the day after I emailed. Talk about fast press! Here’s the link http://money.cnn.com/2010/09/10/pf/target_tucker_gaby_basora/index.htm

By Alexandra Stylist | September 20th, 2010

Despite having just recovered half of my voice I get interviewed by the charming and fabulous Elaine Mensah of SVELTE TV and Fashion BS. I could smooze with her for ages and I know we are due for a radio interview…

Monique L’huiller

By Alexandra Stylist | September 20th, 2010

Betty Draper, Blaire Waldorf, and Brie Vandycamp would all give this show a standing ovation. I was in a heaven frothy goodness. They were the dresses I dreamed about for the proms/balls I never attended in the 50’s. (I’m such an old fashioned girl at heart but you knew that). I love the lightness and […]

Trend Alert-Get Jumpy

By Alexandra Stylist | September 14th, 2010

I always feel way ahead of the curve but this time it feels right on time. Super stylishly happy with my Athenian Ioanna Kourbella jumpsuit I jump right into Fashion Week in New York and see that this trend is really taking off. I saw it on fashion show attendee’s, on the runway at Ports1961 and […]
