About

Alexander Scott was born and raised in Carson City, Nevada. Having a strong, keen interest in fashion at a young age, Alexander has had a strong connection to fashion his entire life. Channeling this initial love for fashion into a full-fledged learning experience his senior year of high school, Alexander learned how to sew and draft patterns from scratch. After graduating, Alexander and his family relocated to Tucson, where he continued exploring fashion as not only his career, but his passion. Transferring to Arizona State University, he graduated with a BA in Fashion Design with a minor in Sustainability, blending science and artistry seamlessly. During his time at ASU, he completed and showcased two collections (Last Call 2024, Decomposing Memories 2025), an internship with designer Christian Siriano, and had the opportunity to design a custom gown for the 78th Annual Tony Awards, which was then seen in Women’s Wear Daily. Through utilizing zero-waste techniques, fully-fashion knitwear, and couture embellishments, Alexander’s goal is to create unique, one-of-a-kind evening wear that has no lasting impact n the planet.View more at alexanderscottdesigns.com

Last Call is my junior collection at ASUFIDM. Last Call explores addiction, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, and the eventual overcoming of these extreme feelings. This collection tells the story of a woman who is suffering from alcoholism, and is meant to be a representation of the moment she decides to overcome her addiction, and change her life for the better. Although this collection was created my junior year, I was able to present the entire 8 look collection as part of my school's annual fashion show, Uncertainty, where it ultimately closed the show. This collection opened many new doors for me, as I was able to obtain an internship as a design intern at Christian Siriano's studio in New York, which was my first time ever in the city. I also recreated the finale gown for this collection for Colleen Jennings-Roggensack for the 78th annual Tony Awards, which she wore on the red carpet, and was then seen in an article on Women's Wear Daily.
