In the News – Fashion Designer Styles to Complement Alopecia Totalis

Snippet from the article:

A fashion-lover who lost her hair when she was just 18 months old due to alopecia has told how she’s learned to pick clothes that complement her baldness.

Rachel Fleit, a creative director for the hip New York-based womenswear brand Honor NYC, told Refinery 29: ‘After 30 years of being bald, I know what works and what doesn’t work.’

She says that she steers clear of structured blazers and dresses because they make her look like a ‘Svedka vodka fembot’ and prefers softer, more floaty shapes.

In a bid to create softness around her head she uses accessories such as big scarves or dangly earrings, while plunging necklines add a touch of femininity.
