Alex S.

Teaches at The Fashion Class

Alex discovered her talent and love for fashion as a child. She took pre-college courses at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Urban Wear and Handbag Construction. She later completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Accessories Design and Fabrication at F.I.T. She interned at, and was later hired by Fantasia Accessories in Manhattan. There she primarily designed handbags, headwear, and small leather goods for large retail stores. While doing freelance work, Alex collaborated with fashion designer Danilo Gabrielli to create the winning design for the 30th Anniversary Galaga T-Shirt Contest. The design was shown at fashion week in New York and sold online. Alex also worked for a graphic design company on Long Island where she designed an activewear collection for Nordstrom, as well as textiles for Margery Ellen Baby, and childrenswear for Flowers By Zoe. Many celebrities’ children have been photographed wearing Flowers By Zoe, including Angelina Jolie’s daughter Vivienne. Alex began her own business on Etsy called The Dwindling Hourglass where she designs and produces handcrafted jewelry and accessories. Inspired by jewelry making and wanting to learn more, she took metalsmithing classes at The Art League of Long Island. Alex loves to share her passion for fashion and accessories with her students and encouraging them to express their personality through their work.
