Daniels Collections, Fashionista Files - Holiday 2008, December
Designer Profile: Alexis Bittar Alexis Bittar launched his eponymous jewelry collections in the early 90s, but the Brooklyn native’s artistic flair was evident long before then. As a child, Bittar accompanied his parents to flea markets, where they collected and sold antiques. At the tender age of 10, Bittar showed his entrepreneurial spirit by selling flowers from a hand-painted cart across the street from his house. Fueled by his passion for antiques, including Art Deco Bakelite and turn-of-the-century Lalique glass, Bittar began designing Lucite jewelry and selling it on the streets of Soho in the early 80s. The Lucite collection combines Bittar’s love of form, texture, color and light. Each piece is handcrafted and hand-painted by skilled artisans. From necklaces, bracelets and earrings to pins and most recently, home decor, Bittar’s creations are a marriage between bold design and high style Today, Bittar’s jewelry is regularly featured in W, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue d’Italia, and is coveted by a discerning clientele including Madonna, Karl Lagerfeld, Cameron Diaz and Naomi Watts.
