Alexandra von Furstenberg

Alexandra Von Furstenberg was born in Hong Kong and as a child lived in many places including Europe, Hawaii and New York. She attended the Parsons School of Design and Brown University where she studied costume design and art history.

In 1995, Alexandra joined the design team of her mother-in-law, American fashion icon Diane Von Furstenberg. During her 10-year career at DvF, she was the creative director and later director of image and was instrumental in the re-launch of the iconic wrap dress as well as reinforcing the relevance of this American brand.

After relocating to Los Angeles in 2006, Alexandra focused on designing exclusively for the home. A synthesis of art, home furnishings and fashion, the collection consists of signed, limited edition pieces made out of acrylic – a nod to the 1970s when acrylic was widely regarded as the material of the future.

Beginning with a sleek 8-piece collection ranging from side tables to an oversized dining table, the designs were named in honor of their inspiration – diamonds (i.e. “Brilliant,” “Trillion”). The gem-like collection is illuminated with neon colors.

Alexandra’s second collection “Voltage,” debuting in March 2009, is made of mirror and smoke-colored acrylic. The 9-piece collection (in addition to an expanded range of accessories) is sultry, bold, and strong. For Alexandra, choosing a darker, smokier palette for her sophomore collection was a natural evolution from the bright, pop aesthetic she embraced in 2008.

Alexandra’s collection is available at her eponymous showroom at 9001 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
