Designer: Alexandra Owen
Based: Wellington
With its quiet nature, the young Wellington fashion house has been able to whisper and still be heard as far as the US and Europe. Today its stocked alongside some of the worlds best labels such as Ann Demeulemeester and Comme des Garcons.
Alexandra Owen has an unbridled commitment to creating directional work that is of an international standard. One part dark, one part light, the aesthetic embodies an intuition equal to its intellect. Contradictions and contrast play key roles in the building of collections, where precision tailoring is matched by dangerous cutting techniques and drape.
With a respect for the old world and an eye for the future, Alexandra Owen maintains it’s stance to continuously innovate, creatively progress, and above all make beautiful clothes for women everywhere.
