Alexandra isn’t your usual tailor. For one, she’s a woman. One of the first on Savile Row, and still something of a rarity. Driven by a desire to make the world of men’s tailoring more personal and less intimidating, Alexandra began her tailoring career in womenswear but quickly discovered that she had a hidden talent for making men look ‘more’.
