I don't know how exactly to say what I'd like to say about Alex Mill but here's a try: there's just this freshness and very subtle difference between their clothing and images vs. other brands that also make basics. It just always manages to feel very current, but not in a trendy way. Just "this is how you do basics, today, in April of 2025" It's a very considered vibe. I have that jumpsuit too! (in khaki, which I love- but wish I'd gotten green). Lastly, imagining Linda Evangelista at this dinner party makes me happy. What a guest!
I loooved this interview, Ali! I have a chocolate-colored corduroy jacket from Alex Mill. It's a much-adored layering staple that got me beautifully through winter. There are so many elements of the jacket that feel thoughtful, so it was nice to read more into Alex Mill's design process here!
I made a rule for myself when I first read it: I always had to be outside on a picnic blanket while reading. I spent an entire summer outside, glistening under the sun with five of the world’s best painters. They really become your friends over the course of the 900ish pages. It’s special! ❣️
