• "Alexa is nothing short of a perfectionist. Everything you want when creating a special garment for an occasion or just something to feel confident in. That’s exactly how I felt when she reworked a dress for my sister’s wedding. She doesn’t shy away from any comments you have, she welcomes them and wants everything to be tailored to your exact wants and specifications! I can’t thank her enough for helping me feel wonderful and creating a dress I dreamt of. "

Alexa has an extraordinary service level, understanding the sensitivity and aesthetic need of her Clients, whilst making wearable high quality clothing.

  • "Working with Alexa to design and redesign new pieces has been the most wonderful experience. The stunning fabrics of my wedding dress and a few beautiful saris were reimagined into modern unique items that I can wear forever. The creativity she brings and inspires is fantastic, and the collaborative journey allowed me to dip a toe into the fantasy world of couture. The process was incredibly fun, from initial discussions about style and ideas, through to the experiments in person at the fittings. Beware, the process is addictive and you will want to go back again and again."

    India Collins, Private Client

  • "It has been a huge pleasure working with Alexa - whether collaborating on fashion upcycling, craft workshops, consulting, or pop-ups, she always exceeds expectations.

  • “I have been collaborating with DesignBlender for the last two years to reduce my fashion consumption. There were clothes I kept but no longer wore that I wanted to alter to suit my body shape/lifestyle now. These were particular pieces that I had an emotional attachment to and was wary of spoiling in some way. I wanted to reinvent them and give them a new life. What I have appreciated is Alexa’s emotional awareness and her ability to understand my concerns and find elegant solutions. The quality of her craft and workmanship is beautiful and I have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and colleagues. I will definitely return with more projects in the future. Once you start remaking your wardrobe you start to see lots more opportunities.”

    — Gemma Metheringham, MA Fashion Futures Student, Consultant, Freelance Lecturer and Writer

  • “Alexa's talent blows my mind. Her ability to pick up a fabric remnant and, with a few swift snips, turning it into a couture piece is unlike anything I'd ever encountered (and I work in fashion). Alexa made me feel so comfortable - with my wildest ideas, even with having different opinions. If anyone is thinking 'I love too many dresses, I don't even know where to start!' or (like me) 'I wear OTT outfits all the time, I don't know how to make this dress special' then choose DesignBlender. They will make your fantasy a reality that suits your body, taste and feel uniquely yours.”

    — Harriet May de Vere, Copywriter and Editor

  • "Time to raise a glass to Alexa. Thank you for the last 24 months of immersive joy working on my wardrobe transformation. You have been the most patient soul, showing me so much kindness and professionalism yet open to ideas. Each reimagined outfit speaks volumes about your creativity, I just adore every piece, a living work of art. The project has been a labour of love and I have enjoyed the process. It wasn't easy entering the unknown but so worth it. Looking forward to more collaborations in the future. With love and gratitude,"
