I’ve been following Alix for a few years. They specialize in chic, minimalist bodysuits. I found out about the brand when they were participating in a CFDA sample sale at their former offices in the Garment District. I got their Varick turtleneck bodysuit (available here) that I’m wearing in the photo below. It’s very comfortable and fits well. I was worried about fit, thinking that the bodysuit would be too short because I’m tall and have a long torso. Fortunately, no issues.
This brand has the most stylish bodysuits that I’ve seen. Not only that, but also the quality is great. Unfortunately, this means that they can get pricey. So I try to catch them on sale or clearance.
Speaking of sale, I went to a recent Alix sample sale. It was my first time going to one of their sample sales, which was just okay. It was held at clothingline, a showroom in Midtown that hosts sales for various brands. I’ve been a few times and haven’t been impressed with the inventory or the merchandising.
Anyway, at this sale, Alix had several bodysuits I really liked so I ended up getting four. The one I’m wearing below is the Reade. Details about this full look from NYFW is here.
This is another bodysuit from the sample sale. It’s a brown velvet texture with an asymmetrical design. Sexy right?
I haven’t worn the other two yet but I will post pictures when I do. They’re monochromatic – one is a black halter and the other is white with one long sleeve.
That said, the sale was a success because I got four items I like at a fraction of what they’d cost at retail. Each of these suits was $25. Retail they would be over $100 on the low end. Amazing deals!!
Check out my shopping haul video to see all the suits and learn more about the brand. Would you attend an Alix sample sale?
Alix has been expanding and continues to come up with dope pieces. Here’s a roundup that you can shop with a number of bodysuits from their latest collections.
