At
Lyric Couture, we sew each one-of-a-kind treasure by
hand
from carefully selected recycled finds.
If you see something you like here, ask us
about it.
Not your size or colors? We customize.
We can also re-make your own
beloved old clothes just for you,
or help you host a closet-cleansing swap-and-reconstruct
party--ask us about it!
Lyric Couture is all about recycling--fashionably!
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.
