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.

Koh Samui’s vibrant landscapes and crystal waters were the perfect backdrop to show off Alexandra’s swimwear line and capture new ideas along the way.

EAT

Thai food never tasted so good to Alexandra after a long day of exploring the island. Locally-sourced veggies and spices made for a taste sensation.

Koh Samui is an incredible place to immerse yourself in Thai culture. Alexandra visited picturesque Buddhist temples, flirted with wildlife, and took a dip for a snorkeling adventure.

RELAX

Having so much fun can be exhausting! With the ambient serenade of waterfalls and ocean waves, Alexandra posted up for a little sun-kissed rest and relaxation.

SHOP
