More profiles, please! This is really interesting, and Alexa has great style. Her father is a terrific professor and a great Davis character. Good to see he passed down that wonderful DNA.
alexa, alexa! where to begin?!!
please come back from paris soon!!
i only totally know she’s probably scoring some killer pieces over there.
for one, this is the girl i had to relinquish the paisley throne to. SHE is now the queen of paisley cause she’s been wearing it more than i have as of late…
spring is here tho now, so watch out!
this chick is one of the perfect examples of what i was talking about up there in the fur coat comment when i was saying that persian lamb and silk moire set one another off, pattern-on-pattern baby, and this chick is always rocking it.
i love that her dad is a lepidopterist and rocks the hobo-chic, i myself have been told i sometimes dress like i’m ‘homeless’ (gee, thanks!)
it’s also way cool she mentioned bevan thomas in the icons of fashion part. bevan is a sweetheart, i ran into her the other day (i was kinda dressed like a homeless guy actually) and she had some old vinyl records with her, i forget which ones tho…
now bev rocks these crazy old shoes that are older than you and all your friends put together, they lace up and they’re heels and they’re from around 1910 i think, you girls and all your crazy shoes, my god!!
the james joyce character alexa’s talking about, i have also seen him around. it’ll be a hundred twenty degrees out and he’ll be walking down the street with a collared shirt with a bowtie and a fairisle patterned sweatervest TUCKED IN to a pair of herringbone twill trousers and some wingtip shoes, his hair neatly parted off to one side…
i capitalised ‘tucked in’ cause i love tucking in my sweatervests/jumpers, it’s very geek-chic…
PROPS for not wanting to wear pants alexa. my thing is, girls can wear whatever they want and they want to dress like dudes?!! i reeeeally don’t like it when i see girls in neckties. can we have our thing as guys, please?!!
that tapestry bag. i would carry it. i finally found out where it came from and i wont reveal it cause she didn’t want to say, but my suspicions were correct. gorgeous.
amy hemmens of naik fur is also one of my favourite people here in town, and what that girl can do with fabric and yarn, et cet., my god!! i don’t know which of her jackets you have alexa, but i’ve seen some fabulous ones…
so how is that david bowie version of ‘see emily play’ anyhow??

joshua, you maniac! the song: it’s alright, but not as worthy of idolatry as that video you sent me. that is a weird ’90s wet dream, so exaggeratedly grungy as to almost be funny. so good.
i am in paris, but am trying to avoid the noid and have not bought anything at all. i figure i can afford to be indifferent so long as it’s made up for by moving here as soon as possible.
it’s totally amazing. today i walked to serge gainsbourg’s house in the rain, and excitedly wrote a dumb, lovey poem on the wall outside. last night i saw the ghost of edith piaf singing “non, je ne regrette rien” in front of the cafe de flore at midnight. my uncle lives in garches, too, so i’ve been cavorting with him.
alas! while i do not welcome the prospect of returning to sacramento, it’ll at least be fun to hear your textile-provoked gasps, again!
Alexa is a gem…nice

This is the most interesting profile read yet. That gal also made a damn cool/weird record under the name Bathing Druid.
