It’s the kind of success story that’s made in Manhattan—only it all began in Brooklyn. Over the past 20 years, jewellery designer Alexis Bittar (alexisbittar.com) has gone from being a street vendor in SoHo to a fixture on Michael Kors’ speed-dial. Bittar’s signature bright, bold Lucite designs have made him the candy man of the accessories world with a cult following of A-listers, including Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Alicia Keys, Blake Lively, Rihanna and Madonna. But don’t think that this self-taught artist/ entrepreneur is moving on up to the Upper East Side. FASHION sat down with Bittar to find out how he stays true to his roots, what makes him feel creative and why costume jewellery is still living large.
