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

Sempiternal is a collection I developed my freshman year at ASU. In August 2021, I enrolled at ASU for their fashion program. A few months before starting, my grandmother passed away. Although this was not my first experience with death, this was the first death I had ever experienced of someone I had known my entire life. A few weeks before starting at ASU, my beloved cat, Molly, passed away. Previously, school was something I had always struggled with. I was never a good student. I knew going to ASU, however, was going to be my last chance to pursue a fashion education, and I had to hit the ground running. I channeled the emotions I was feeling into a collection inspired by Bring Me The Horizon's album, Sempiternal, which dealt heavily with the theme of death. This project was done over the course of three classes: design 1, design 2, and fashion technology, and utilized the skills I had both learned and taught myself prior to enrolling at ASU.
