Alexa Stark

Alexa Stark clothing is a reflection of the complex age we live in, creatively balancing the practical and the spectacle in women’s design. We seek to unify form, function and material, using processes and production methods that recognizes the importance of sustainability and healthy work standards..

The Alexa Stark label designed in-house and produced by the Portland Garment Factory in Portland, Oregon. We practice minimal waste production. All left over fabric is repurposed in our salvage denim designs, recycled at local fabric recycling bins, or absorbed into the creative explorations of others.

The label’s high quality fabrics are carefully sourced from vendors who value sustainability. We seek out material produced in America to reduce the carbon footprint. Materials sourced outside the United States have other qualities of a sustainable nature and are produced in countries with carefully regulated production facilities. We deconstruct jeans for our garments made from salvaged denim. We believe that working with salvaged materials is the most conscientious way of producing new garments and we are always exploring new design ideas that incorporate this method.

Alexa Stark started her clothing company in 2010. She was educated at Parsons The New School for Design in New York and is passionate about clothing as an artistic medium. Her practice is based on the idea that design should be effortless- instilled with contemplative simplicity and balanced intention.
