Known for creating some of the most fabulous and contemporary designs in the fashion world, Alexis Bittar is the Brooklyn-born luxury jewelry designer who has been making a major impact on the industry– even gaining himself the title of CFDA Accessory Designer of Year Award in 2010.

It was Bittar's lucite and semi-precious jewelry that ultimately earned him collaborations with Burberry, Michael Kors and Jason Wu. Soon after, his designs graced the pages of high-fashion magazines such as Italian Vogue, Elle, W and Harper's— and in 2004, Bittar opened his first flagship store on Broome Street in New York City. Now regularly featured in these prestigious publications, his bold designs have become a favorite to some of Hollywood’s hottest, including Madonna, Lady Gaga, Cameron Diaz, Alicia Keys and even the First Lady, Michelle Obama, and fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld.
