It Has Come To My Attention...Alexis Bittar Is Coming To San Francisco


Ken Wingard and I will be co-hosting the grand opening party of Alexis Bittar's San Francisco store this Saturday. Come join us as we celebrate! Welcome to San Francisco, Alexis!

When Alexis Bittar was on the street corner selling his lucite jewelry in front of NYC Moma, I was taking my closet door off to make a design table in my SF studio apartment. We launched ourselves into business at the same time. We met in New York selling our wares and we have been dear friends ever since. Alexis has his feet on the ground and his eyes on the stars. And I mean realones. The last time I was staying with him he was having a glamorous photo shoot with Lauren Hutton. Just another day in the life of my friend, Alexis.

Six reasons I love Alexis:
  • He knows how to rock a fanny pack.
  • He has achieved the state of Grand Master of the fine and ancient art of Japanese Karaoke, (his skill second only to mine.)
  • He is a visionary.
  • He recently won the prestigious CFDA award for Accessory Designer of the Year.
  • He is a pretty grounded cat and the best pal a gal could ever have.

    It was wonderful to meet you at Alexis' Grand Opening. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me -- I can't even tell you what an honor it was. Truly.
