In the Spotlight: Alex Rivière-Sieber
In a trend-driven, visually-saturated world, Alex Rivière-Sieber's refined effortless elegance serves as respite from today’s visual noise. Minimal, yet highly-sophisticated, we have long been admirers of the timelessness and subtlety of her style.Summer plans, tailoring and clothing as a means for self-expression, we touched base with the multifaceted entrepreneur.
Long before the term “quiet luxury” became so ubiquitous, your style has always been characterized as timeless, elegant and never over-the-top. Can you share a little about how you approach dressing?
Despite trends are actually happening and we all get caught by them at some point, I believe my sense of aesthetics has been quite linear in the past years. I always liked to invest in good pieces, buying quality over quantity even if it might sound cliché. I believe very few things can beat good tailoring, a perfect poplin shirt and a good pair of jeans. I try to buy pieces I know I will never end up hating, although I have made some mistakes!
On that same topic, why is fashion so important when it comes to how you present yourself to the world?
I think how we dress says more of our character than we think, and depending what you wear - where and how - can send very different messages. I’m all for minimalism, architecture and the beauty of things in life. At the same time, I don’t like to be loud or noticeable for obvious reasons.
