CELEBRITY DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: GHITA BY ALEXIS PHIFER

Monday, September 17, 2007

Ghita Spring 2008 ( Photos by: Lorenzo Cinligilo/NY Post & Wireimage )

Alexis Phifer is not only arm candy. In fact, she proved this with the premiere of her Spring 2008 Ghita runway show last week.

Ghita was actually launched in 2005 but, Alexis certainly has been designing way before being with the Louis Vuitton Don. Graduating from FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in California, Phifer clearly has always had her mind set on creating a high fashion line of her own.

Ghita, which refers to a gem or means “pearl of the sea” is a collection full of fun yet, fashionable party dresses. Alexis’s inspiration is said to be a futuristic touch to the 80’s and is very evident in her 2008 Spring line. Socialites such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have already been seen in the threads, and we can probably expect to see more of it in the future…

You can currently purchase Ghita at a few boutiques and chains, including Intermix, Henri Bendel and Fred Segal. Learn more about Ghita and Alexis Phifer at ghitafashion.com.

her website is nice but I wish there was a feature to zoom on the clothing and I’m not feeling the music. As I said before her clothes are nice, reminds me of the Roman times.

Her designs are whack she needs a hungry designer behind her. These clearly lack true TASTE and talent.,unless these are going into Target and H&M then they would be ok.

Good for her but I still think Ms. Alexis is a gold digger. Just one with a plan. Her former husband/baby daddy is veteran NFL player Roman Phifer(look him up). He played in the NFL a LONG time so his dollars were and probably still are also LONG. I know he doesn’t have Kanye West money but that Negro is by no means broke! It seems when you’ve had one balla its easier to get another balla. I ain’t made at her though.

@ 20

I have that same feeling too. But wasn’t she with Kanye before he was “famous” and before the crash? Someone do the research.

I can’t deal with thumbnails and clicking and enlarging and waiting so I won’t even try to view her entire collection… but I think it’s nice…the quality, at least… I mean, the designs for Spring and those from the Fall collection seem to be of two totally different design philosophies…but, as I said, didn’t take time to see the entire collection… I’m going back and forth in my mind about the dress she’s wearing…I like it, in both colors…but the detailing, the little plastic-like thing at the neck, seems a bit forced… I don’t know…it’s like literally future meets sophistication…like she’s trying to blend the two and takes such a literal, stark route because she didn’t/wouldn’t/couldn’t think it through….

The girl is obviously talented. I think she has a bright future in fashion and as a fashion designer hopefully she will be able to create a bigger name for herself under that, something other than being kanye’s girl.

Alexis is a beautiful and talented young woman, she could model those great clothes herself. But SMH for choosing a bunch of boney pale ass snow bunnies to model. They skinny asses do no justice to those clothes, which the curves of black or Latina models would!

Congrats to Alexis for the new line, everything looks nice. But seriously, are those krimps in her hair??? Ye, get ya girl a hair stylist asap… I don’t ever want to see her hair looking like that again.

32.

Nottigrl01

Monday, September 17, 2007 /

I’m not hating, I just think her style is a little over-rated simply because she’s Kayne’s fiance. The dresses pictured above from the fall collection are not sexy, or classy. They look like something that was pulled from the back of my great-grandmother’s closet. Absolutely TOO much fabric. The only dress that I think is somewhat decent to wear is the first one pictured above (white, gray, and green strapless number). I’m in love with fashion and honestly I’ve seen better.
SOOO, if Alexis or Kayne reads this, just take it as constructive criticism.
She really should step her game up……

I like the longer dresses to cover up my thunder thighs. Wonder what the price tag looking like…

Concreteloop is sucking up to kanye

Monday, September 17, 2007 /

Concreteloop , yall are sucking up to Kanye big time because you know he reads the blog . Hes girlfriend is not even relevant but yall are beginning to post the hell out of her clothing. Stop it dammit !!!! Every other post is Kanye lately . and its not because he’s hot right now either because 50 is hot too and you hardly ever post anything about him . this is becoming a fan site . stop sucking up!!!!

Nice collection. Its easy, elegant, and chic. I love the soft colors especially that one sleeve roche’ looking dress. The material seems to flow upon movement… Even though I am petite. I could never fit her clothing. It seems to be geared for the size 2,4, and 6 figure.

why does it have to be hating if the dresses do not appeal to someone’s taste? personally i don’t care for the designs, but i am glad to see a black woman doing her thing and having her own collection. i wish her much success. i am quite tired of hearing about her and kanye though.

44.

Monday, September 17, 2007 /

Is it that the dressed don’t appeal to you ladies because 99% of y’all broads commenting couldn’t fit into any of the clothes? Perhaps some of the cotoure outfits of the racks at DRESS BARN would suit all you bitter tricks better. :)

The looks on the bottom are cool…but I was not feeling her looks. There is also a bunch more on stainedcouture.com

I actually think Jlos Just Sweet had cuter stuff.

I can fit the looks but they are just not my style…Alexis always looks good herself but not feeling the fits :(

KANYE FIANCE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT SHE DOESNT DESERVE TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT. IF SHE WASNT WITH KANYE, SHE WOULD BE NOTHING. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IF I WASNT A REGULAR ON HER…I WOULDNT HAVE KNOWN WHO SHE WAS.

I don’t know Alexis personally, but she is in fact a stand up woman. I do ,however, know some of her close family personally. She really doesn’t need Kanye’s money. It doesn’t hurt i’m sure, but she does well without it. She is a very intelligent and talented woman, i don’t think she is a gold digger at all. But once your are in that fame and fortune Circle, you usually stay in that arena.

Love this line! These clothes are ultra feminine, classy, chic, and flirty. Seems like when you put one of the dresses on, you’d want to go skipping down the street in your heels. When you see someone in these dresses, you know you’re looking at a woman. This line looks fun and whoever buys are a definite girly girl. The skinny minnies like myself would rock the hell outta these clothes.

Me definitely likes!

FOR ALL THE DUMMIES THAT ARE SAYING OBVIOUS DUMB SHIT LIKE: WHY IS KANYE’S GIRL IN THE SPOTLIGHT? SHE’S NOT RELEVANT….BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

UM, EXCUSE ME, AT LAST CHECK, YOU DIDN’T NECESSARY HAVE TO BE A CELEBRITY TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT, YOU COULD BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT BECAUSE SOME OTHER EXTRAORDINARY ACCOMPLISHMENT OR DEED…AND SHE IS A CELEBRITY IN HER OWN RITE…..HOW MANY OF US ON HERE DOES PARIS HILTON, LINDSAY LOHAN, AND OTHER SOCIALITES CALL FOR A DAMN DRESS. AND HOW MANY YOUNG BLACK WOMEN DO YOU KNOW WHO HAVE THEIR OWN PREMIERE, HIGH FASHION CLOTHING LINE??? SHE IS NOT A EVERYDAY AVERAGE ORDINARY CHICK…IN FACT, MOST OF THE CELEBRITIES WITH THEIR OWN CLOTHING LINE DID NOT ACTUALLY GO TO SCHOOL FOR THIS, THEY WORK WITH A “REAL DESIGNER”, LIKE ALEXIS, TO COME UP WITH REAL DESIGNS, AND THEN THEY SIMPLY PUT THEIR NAME ON IT TO SELL IT. I.E. J-LO, BEYONCE, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS. THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE OF HOW TO ACTUALLY DESIGN, SKETCH, AND SOW A DRESS, PANT, WHAT THE FUCK EVER ELSE……THEY RELY ON SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY DOES THIS FOR A LIVING. AND SADLY, THAT PERSON NEVER GET THE PRAISE THEY DESERVE.

THE FACT THAT SOME CELEBRITIES HAVE CONTACTED HER ABOUT HER CLOTHES MAKES HER CELEBRITY IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM….

I get the point you’re making about our celebrities of late (Nicole, Paris, Nikki)….none of these people have any talent, and they became famous only because people liked paying attention to Paris… So, you can’t deny that element of popularity… I agree. But in making that point, you also must acknowledge that the essence of that is us. People. What we want to see. So, you’ve got to suck it up (without name calling) and accept that people will want or not want to see uhhhh Kanye’s gi.. Alexis… (had to look up). If she’s mean to be a celebrity, the few hundred people that blog on this site, won’t stop her… But, as of now, some express dissenting opinions about even the notion of her as a celebrity… nothing you can do, such is capitalism, such is vanity, such is celebrity…

62.

@lula pear

I understand all of that, but i posted that to say, let’s get real….obvsiously she deserves some spotlight, and she is relevant——-you just don’t like her…please be woman/ man enough to say that (no further explanation needed), and stop hiding behind bullshit like, why is she on here, or she’s not relevant…..it’s just hating in it’s finest. And i say that with all the curse words i want to use. And obviously people want to see her, because there may be a few disparaging comments about her on here, everyone else seems to be giving this young entrepreneur her props to say the least. And i, of all people, aren’t discouraging anyone for making a statement, just please, can we keep it real.

63.

Lula Pear

Monday, September 17, 2007 /

I still think you’ve got the wrong idea about this, JSCENE. I read your comments, I’ve noticed and I appreciate them. But you’ve got to understand celebrities are commodities… I use this analogy all the time… well, people can either buy them or leave them on the shelf… You don’t call people who opt for mayo instead of mustard, haters? It’s the same thing… She is like a new commodity, something new on the shelf, and to make her situation worst, she’s already associated with another commodity, KANYE. And, that could go either way, either they’d leave her because they dig him and think she’s being a sycophant or they’d leave her because they can’t stand him and so she’s, by association, annoying…

Ultimately, the nature of celebrity is being wanted…and maybe you want her and others don’t… I don’t think you should even go so deep as attempting people’s intentions …. That’s just my thing… I am one of those people who is tired of seeing Kanye here, I’m not hating, I’m just saying…if I’m coming here for gossip about black celebs and I’m running against a constant flux of Kanye-isms, I’m like??? what’s the point. And, it’s bad all the way around, featuring him so much…one would think it strokes his ego…it might, until the site is so associated with Kanye that everyone views it/knows it as a Kanye site, and then, what’s left for him to admire??? He likes being admired in the sea of other celebs, like he’s better…take them away, and what have you got? One like any other the other innumerable fan sites on the net…

See, I can articulate my feeling, my having enough of Kanye… Maybe others can articulate their feeling, their having enough of Alexis, but they’d rather not…
