Third Year, Production Management Major
Alexa's love for fashion began in high school. She took up sewing as a hobby, and it eventually became her life's passion. Alexa loves the satisfaction she gets each time she executes a sketch and creates a tangible garment. While completing her degree in Fashion Design at FIT, Alexa designed an organic, fashion-forward collection for the Sustainable Business and Design fashion show. In honor of her grandmother who died from cancer, Alexa gathered a team of student designers who put on a special fashion show as part of the American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life" benefit. The show raised over $3,000, and Alexa and her colleagues have been invited to return next year. This year, she held a prestigious internship with an esteemed designer and even had the chance to attend New York Fashion Week! Alexa is very excited to design for the Addressing Psoriasis™ Fashion Show and watch the winners show others with psoriasis that they can be confident in their personal style. She says, "I look forward to making a garment for one of the winners that leaves them feeling beautiful inside and out!"
