Lyric Couture
is the "one-off-spring" of Alice B. Fogel, award-winning clothing designer, sewing sybil & custom clothier,
as well as poet, writer, author (www.alicebfogel.com) & teacher.
With multiple degrees in the arts as well as courses at NYC's Fashion Institute of Technology,
she has created costumes for productions at the Kennedy Center, San Francisco & Houston Operas, Broadway, off-Broadway & film, among others, & held the post of Head of Costuming at Theatre by the Sea in Portsmouth, NH.
Alice has also worked in millinery and lingerie.
Her obsession with sewing & design began with making rock star outfits for her troll dolls' band, The Cherries,
when she was 8 years old, & she has never looked back since.
While she has been a formal member of the Professional Association of Custom Clothiers & makes very respectable garments,
her true love is re-fashioning unwanted old materials into unexpectedly desirable new clothes.
