INSPIRED BY TRAVEL: ALEXANDRA ALVAREZ WAKES TO THE AZURE WATERS OF KOH SAMUI
Alexandra Alvarez made a name for herself out of Parsons School of Design with her sleek fitting contemporary bodysuits, which would be the genesis of her own line, ALIX. She’s since expanded to luxury basics and swimwear, a seamless fit for the beachside Miami native. As her brand took off, Alvarez was invited to join the prestigious CFDA {Fashion Incubator}, a development program meant to foster the next generation of designers in New York City. This set her off on a idyllic getaway to W Koh Samui in Thailand, where she was photographed by The Coveteur exploring the colorful sights and sounds of the tropics. There was inspiration everywhere she looked.
