Meet All Beneath Heaven, a label by designer Jimmy Alexander.
“I kind of always had this feeling that I had something to say in myself,” he said. “Dressing has been the way that I express myself throughout my life. That’s probably one of the constants.”
Using hand embroidery, silk, linen, cotton, velvet — all organic — and hand-painted prints, there’s a childlike, poetic sensibility throughout. “The back is the universe,” he explained, revealing the other side — his outer space. “The idea is you are the universe. The universe is within.” A silk top showcases a postcard written by Frida Kahlo, while a pair of linen-cotton shorts bring to life a letter Pablo Picasso wrote Gertrude Stein “talking about his competitiveness to [Henri] Matisse,” explained Alexander. There’s a jacket paying homage to Peter Blake’s “Self-Portrait With Badges,” a painting Alexander grew fascinated by after seeing it at the Tate Museum as a kid.
“I like the idea of a person being able to choose their proportions and how they wear something,” said Alexander.“They’re shapes that are flowing and that have space to move,” he said. “A lot of oversized stuff has been used for power, you know, makes you feel powerful. Whereas for me, I’m more about making you feel childlike.”He has his next three “chapters” envisioned: “They’re going to be very focused in on certain ideas.

Biden rule would give organic chickens access to outdoorsPresident Joe Biden's administration on Tuesday proposed a U.S. rule requiring farms to give egg-laying chickens access to the outdoors in order to earn the label 'organic,' closing loopholes but potentially giving companies up to 15 years to comply. The long-awaited proposal, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, would eliminate loopholes that have let some of the biggest egg producers claim the federally administered 'organic' label by installing open-air porches on henhouses in lieu of providing access to pasture. 'Today marks the first significant movement on organic animal welfare in years,' said Tom Chapman, CEO of the Organic Trade Association.
