D.I.Y. Alexa’s style

posted 18.08.2009

Loved Alexa’s shirt at the Inglorious Basterds permiere in NYC last night.

Studs appear everywhere this season - but you don’t need a Balmain budget to get the look.

Stud  your collar yourself with silver studs found at lots of haberdashery shops and departments right now - like these from Kleins - Click here now

Our advice is to make a small hole first - then slip the stud in and fix it at the back.

You’ll also probably need to firm up your collar if you want to do this to a shirt like Alexa’s - use iron-on interfacing for this. Or make your collar detachable so that you can put the shirt in the wash without worrying about the studs.

Alternatively stud a denim jacket or blazer collar - those don’t go in the washing machine!

    I love alexa’s perfectly crumpled hair and the shirt is a delight! I am looking to cover a bag in studs/metal gold almond shaped beads, thank you for the website link!

    I like the idea of a studded collar - it’s just about subtle enough for me.
