Alicia Bell tells stories. The kind of stories you love to hear, and see, and put on… creating your own little role in her tale. This story is full of magic and whimsy, romance and sophistication. A setting with a most stylish backdrop, the clothes are created from a perfect marriage of feminine Victorian style and clean modern cuts. Bell by Alicia Bell reflects a deep understanding of classic femininity, confidence and well-tailored clothing, by both the designer and her customer.
Alicia Bell was educated at Parsons School of Design in New York. Her talent and interest in fashion have taken her abroad to work with legendary designers such as Vivienne Westwood. Her line reflects the fine craftsmanship and individual sense of style taught by her established mentors. Details and tailoring are impeccable in every garment whether it is a frayed skirt hem, a ruffled collar on a cape, or a small grouping of box pleats at the back of a hobble skirt. Circle skirts magically transform into bustles with a bra hook closure and secretary tops are fitted to new buxom proportions. Rich textures in velvet and herringbone wool take flight with flowing ribbon accents and sensuous sheer lace trims.
The story continues in the most beautiful way, as Bell by Alicia Bell approaches its 7th year in business. Bell has been featured in Italian Vogue, Vogue, Elle, Women’s Wear Daily, W, Jane, Wallpaper, In Style, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Lucky, US Weekly and The New York Times.
Over the past few years Bell has developed a strong celebrity following, with loyal fans including stylish actress Shiva Rose, Grammy-winning singer Vanessa Carlton, Madonna and Oprah (who have recently been spotted wearing a Bell pleated cuff shirt). Alicia has just signed an exclusive license deal to have her signature pleated cuff shirts produced and distributed all though out Europe and Asia.
