ALEXIS KNOX ROCKS AGE OF REASON

There are few things as poppy, as whizz- bang boom, and as downright colourful as celebrity stylist Alexis Knox's Tumbr. Recently she's been enjoying DJ-ing, styling uber model Viktoria Modesta to perfection, and wearing Age of Reason scarves. All fun at Knox HQ then! Her page reminds us of Vogue's current POP issue, which is also worth a look.

MEET ALEXIS- AND NAME A SCARF

Without giving too much away, we'd like to introduce you to Alexis, one of our Bondage Dolls for SS12.  Named after uber-stylist Alexis Knox, an original Age of Reason supporter known for her appearance on T4 Style The Nation. The real life Alexis is not just a TV star, but a downright cool chic and doyenne of all things "major".  Alexis's namesake has cheeky nurse styling and some popping neons to brighten up your day. And, although you can't tell from this small image,  the design also incorporates 12 different tones of grey, inspired by the painting "Diacetoxyscirpenol" by Damien Hirst. You can pick up the Hirst for  £18K.  The scarves will be available in silk from around £120 next season. 


For our current fashion collection please visit Start London or Whistles King's Road, Hampstead & St Christopher's Place.

T4 STYLE THE NATION- ALEXIS KNOX ROCKS OUR SCARVES

Over the past couple of weeks we have been glued to a box every Saturday morning at 11:20, waiting to catch a glimpse of our favorite stylist mentor Alexis Knox. We've shouted at the telly when the public have voted against her, we've taken note of what she's wearing, what she's tweeting, and how many times she's said "Wowzers" or "Major".  But most of all we've been waiting to see if Alexis would wear one of her beloved Age of Reason scarves on TV. A long shot for any designer...

Today, however,  we were not disappointed. Half way through the Style the Nation Final POW! there was the lovely Alexis wearing her long Punk Pug silk scarf wrapped stylishly in her hair. The scarf suits her-  it's a softer take on the Alexis fringe, less bitchin'  more cute. We like,  Major.

ALEXIS KNOX - FASHION CREATIVE

One, two, three...Get ready to meet Age of Reason's newest and most stylish supporter, the one, the only Alexis Knox.  Currently famed for her on-screen role as stylist mentor on T4's NewLook : Style the Nation, Alexis has many strings to her bow.  So we are understandably proud to hear that she "Love(s) Age of Reason Scarves, Major!" 


With editorial work spanning everything from Notion Magazine, to Grazia, and swathes of catwalk work under her oh-so-stylish (probably neon) belt, Alexis is no newbie. Her styling tends to be fearless, highly impactful, and bursting with 
dramatic creativity.  All things we love. There are elements of fantasy, non conformity, and even some androgynous/ trans-gender imagery within her work.  We get a sense that Alexis uses style before fashion. Style is the cake,  fashion is the cherry on top. 


This great, and little known,  short film "Behind the Scenes of Fashion Creative Alexis Knox" by Caroline Alice Allen articulates a lot about Alexis's working process, which there isn't time to show on Style the Nation. Click here to watch the short documentary. 


We are now avid followers of Style the Nation, and will be watching with great interest to see what happens next in the final. Sat 9th July 2011 at 11:20 on T4 (Channel 4).
