From childhood afternoons spent playing dress-up, drawing, and making collages, Alaina’s creative path has always been rooted in storytelling through style. Taught to sew by her grandmother, she developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and design early on. This passion led her to study Fashion Design at Columbia College, where she honed her technical skills and creative voice.
Her career began in a brick and mortar vintage clothing shore, where she styled mannequins and curated merchandising, eventually evolving into launching her own online vintage store. There, she sourced and sold high-end vintage pieces to a global audience, gaining a reputation for her discerning eye and ability to connect fashion history with modern sensibilities. Building on this foundation, Alaina transitioned into commercial styling, bringing her unique mix of artistry, fashion knowledge, and vintage influence to a wider stage.
