Christine Alcalay

Christine Alcalay grew up in New York City with a sewing needle in her hand after immigrating from Vietnam with her family at the age of 3. Designing clothing became her first love as she worked side by side with her mother who worked in factories. The lessons she learned and the skills she acquired molded who she is as a designer. Persuing her dream, Alcalay attended Parson’s School of Design in NYC and spent a year abroad in Paris. Returning to NYC, she continued her studies and won the renowned “Parson’s Golden Thimble” awarded by Michael Vollbract. For the past 10 years, Christine expresses her ultra-feminine sensibility through her label’s made-to-order coats, dresses, and separates. Using richly textured tweeds and silks, playful draping, and delicate details, Alcalay designs pieces intended for timelessness.
