No better quote expresses the philosophy of the exciting and avant-garde designer Quinton de’Alexander.  Living in New Orleans, an area rich with diversity and culture, Quinton’s curiosity about the clothes and how they were structured was recognized by him and supported by his family at an early age.  At eight years old, he saw a sewing machine at a local garage sale and asked if he could have it.  Thank goodness for the world of fashion and for those of us who benefit from that world, that young Mr. de’ Alexander was not denied.
