About me
My name is Irene Alexandra and I am a first-generation Colombian-American designer based in New York City. I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology majoring in Fashion Design with a specialization in Sportswear/Ready-to-Wear and a minor in Italian Studies.
In pursuit of my creative endeavors, I have found a great passion in haute couture and its sophisticated techniques. Along with craftsmanship, I also love to pull from everyday dress in the streets. My experience in bridal alterations together with menswear and streetwear, has honed me with the skills I have today. Having exposure to so many cultures here in New York City has enabled me to become the designer I am today.
I speak English, Spanish, and Italian and am in pursuit of continuing to learn as I travel to better understand you as a customer and the desire for dress across the globe.
My dream is to share my craft with you and continuously grow through experience and culture.
