"...encourage women to dress up in their everyday lives..."
Now that's a motto I can get behind.
I was introduced to the work of Alexandra Grecco through my friend Laura, whose sister knows the 26 year old designer.
She pays tribute to luxurious ladies of the past... channeling silent film stars of the '20's, burlesque dancers and pin-up girls of the '50's. The shapes and materials flatter the female physique and the attention to detail and sweet accentuations are enough to make any girl feel like a star.
Check out her website HERE and be sure not to miss her video which draws from her ballet roots (and in my opinion pays tribute to Feist) to further show off her exquisite designs.
I especially love the delicately feminine underthings and flattering onesies that epitomize the balance of function and whimsy of her designs.
Alexandra Grecco's BLOG is as aesthetically pleasing as her sumptuous line, drawing inspiration from her travels and natural beauty.
Check out her line at The Magic Hour, an independent boutique in Portland, OR on 2730 E Burnside Street. (The only place in the US outside of NY that carries her designs!)
The shop has a pretty nifty fashion blog of their own: Magic Hour
Here's to beauty, sensuality, form and function and the discovery of inspiration to dress up everyday for the sake of loving the look you live in!

i like that the models aren't all skimpy wimpy but have some meat on their bones to fill out those curvy underthings!
