Alex Consani Shows Us Around Her Freshly Unpacked Closet

Oh, hello Vogue!

It s Alex Consani.

You wanna see my closet?

Let me show you something.

[upbeat music]

[mellow music]

Hello Vogue.

Thank you so much for coming into my closet.

I made it pretty just for you.

All this folding, I m gonna say

it probably took me 10 hours.

Just kidding.

I got a cleaner for the first time in my life.

Shout out Lazy Susan s Cleaning Service.

They made it nice and beautiful so

you guys can come in and see it.

So let me show you a couple of my favorite things.

This is my mom s from the nineties, I love it so much.

Like, look at these tags.

This is the kind of thing that I appreciate in fashion,

is when there s these beautiful tags,

cause it s like no one else is gonna see it except for me,

but it s a summer vest and I think it s so fab.

I wanna say she would ve worn it with a t-shirt.

Very nineties, like this,

jeans, t-shirt.

My mom loved roller blades, so probably with a roller blade.

I just did this LACMA gala in LA,

and as a gift they gave me this gorgeous Gucci purse.

I wore to the beach.

It s my new beach bag, which is kind of fab.

I m trying to be very quiet luxury,

but it s not really working.

Yeah, that s probably the newest thing in my closet.

My favorite new thing to get is underwear,

cause who likes old underwear?

Not me.

I m not gonna show you the underwear, that s a bit crazy,

but my favorite piece of underwear is the tucking underwear.

I think it s a really important, pivotal part of my closet.

It makes me feel confident and I m

able to wear whatever I want.

There s a big lack of conversation around where to get it,

because especially in fashion,

like all of the girls are always asking me,

Where do I get this?

Where do I get that to make me feel euphoric,

and like supported, and whatever?

I have my places for sure.

So you re gonna have to keep tuned,

cause I might be coming out with

something just like that soon.

[upbeat music]

My favorite part of this new closet, let me show you.

I found this out when I moved.

There s a mirror.

There s a mirror right here, so you can look at your outfit.

Yes, there you go.

You get to see a little bit of the behind the scenes.

This is my favorite thing.

So I have this obsession with Barbour coats,

if you know, they re like these

old hunting coats from the UK.

There s all these hidden pockets, and this unzips,

and I don t know what this is for, but look at that.

Isn t that cool?

You can like put your hand through the coat.

That s fab.

I just love these kind of things,

and I love that it looks a bit like,

you know, Nicole Kidman shout out,

I feel like she definitely has one of these.

So I m friends with the designer of McQueen, Sean McGirr,

and I told him I really,

really loved my outfit for the show,

and he let me keep it.

So I have these bumsters, the iconic McQueen bumsters.

Look at the size of the zipper, you guys.

That s fab.

But I have the full look,

so I have this and then the leather jacket.

It s just so fab.

Look, I love working in fashion because I get to have

these moments where I have the full look.

I feel like everyone from McQueen knows that I took this,

but I hope that they do, cause this

might be a surprise for them.

When I first moved to New York,

honestly the stuff that I would wear was insane.

I remember I had this mini skirt,

actually let me show it to you cause I do have it here.

There s like all these different pockets,

and I would wear this and a bikini top,

and heeled Dior boots every single day.

That was an era, for sure.

[upbeat music]

I mean, of course the Birk.

It s a big pivotal moment in the closet.

That s why I put it here in the middle.

I feel like that was a big moment for me when I got it.

I was like, this is me making it.

You know?

This Prada jacket also.

Oh, oh yes!

This was a really expensive piece,

but I do wear all the time.

Took this hanger from Versace, thank you.

Didn t take any clothes but I did take the hanger.

And then another piece that I love that s from Prada,

but it s this coat from the last runway,

and it has pearls on it and I think it s so fun.

Like, listen to that.

I love it.

People know I m coming.

Look how fab this is.

It s a Hedi Slimane Saint Laurent skirt.

Look how fab that is.

So fab, right?

But booty too big, which is a bless,

but I wish I knew that when I got it.

So if there s a fire, what s

the one piece I would take with me?

Let me reenact it for you.

[dramatic music]

You ve gotta get the cashmere of The Row.

Yes, for the future,

for the kids.

I think that was a good reenactment.

But also this piece is really special.

I wore this at the last Dsquared runway show,

and this is why I always say

closed mouths don t get fed, right?

So if you re doing a show and you like the piece,

there s no hurt in saying, please,

please can I keep it?

And it worked and I love it.

I feel like a cowgirl.

Okay, so there s this piece that I got

when I went to the Oscars in 2024.

Ludovic, oh,

just whipped me in the face.

Ludovic de Saint Sernin made this

custom pony hair gown for me.

It s made perfect to my measurements,

but it s just like, I wish you could feel it.

And I just like having moments like this,

that are like custom and special, and have memories.

Like, this is my first Oscars.

I remember for the fitting for this,

I went to Ludovic s apartment in Paris,

and it was really beautiful, I got to see him sketch it,

which is something really special.

And to have something like this in my closet

is a forever piece, you know?

So it s really, it s really fabulous.

My favorite pair of jeans, they re these Saint Laurent ones,

and I actually wore them so much that

during my interview for this Vogue cover,

I actually had the opportunity to bring them

to the shoot and they made it in a picture.

They re just these really baggy Saint Laurent pants.

I also wear a lot of crew necks.

I love this Supreme one.

Like, I love the way that you can do Supreme

and not make it look all skatery.

I mean, you can make it skatery,

but it s nice to be able to do this with like a skirt.

And I think that that s what s so cool.

You guys, moving has been so stressful.

If you guys, any of y all are moving,

I m just giving you prayers because I didn t realize,

besides divorce and death, moving is

the third most stressful thing in life.

Allegedly, that s what they say on Google.

I have some more in here,

some extra like cute little v-necks.

Oh, what is that?

Oh yeah!

Yes.

It s my Barbie, yes.

Like to keep this in here to remind myself life is a Barbie.

[sings] Life is a Barbie!

And I wanna ride it all night long.

My friend who s an artist made this,

you can see it s like the Dsquared look.

This was something that was really special to me,

this look in itself, because I remember

right before I got cast for the show,

I was on YouTube looking at Dsquared

runways from like the 2000s,

and there were these hats, right?

I was like, oh my God,

I would die to walk in this hat.

I would die to walk Dsquared.

I got a call the next day being like,

Hey, Dsquared wants to meet you in Milan,

and I did the fitting and they gave me the fucking hat.

I was so excited.

I was like, this is such a full circle moment,

and the day of the runway they were like,

I don t know if we need the hat.

I was like,

oh, we need the hat.

This ended up being one of my most seen runway moments.

Shout out Mars, thank you.

One thing that I would have to

give to you right now is this.

Mother.

Cause you re mother.

Everyone watching this, you re mother.

Don t forget it.

Cowboys of Habit, this really fab

brand that messaged me on Instagram,

and they said,

We have these shorts for you, I think you would love,

and I did, thank you.

But yeah, I m gonna give this to you guys,

because you re mother.

[upbeat music]

Now this is one of my favorite sections of my closet.

The shoes and the gowns, the shoes and the gowns.

This is the best part of any closet in my opinion.

I m a shoe person.

I was gonna say, but I dunno if I can say that.

Also gowns, these are a lot of really beautiful

pieces that I ve collected over the years.

I mean, I have a lot of these really fab vintage products.

Just a plain black dress, which

I think every person needs in their closet.

It s just good to kind of have,

you know, a base,

and then I add on top of it, which is nice.

My favorite shoe, it changes by the time,

but I think right now these are my go-to s.

These are some Giuseppe Zanotti s that I clearly have loved.

The bottom of those.

I remember I wore these to a Ferragamo show,

and Mina Nock came in the same ones,

and I was like okay, we see each other.

And I wore them so much actually that the strap broke.

So I cut them, and I wore these

every day of last fashion week.

There s a video of me leaving a runway show

and they got caught in the gutter.

This was a special moment.

So when I did the Victoria s Secret movie,

they did a movie in 2023 styled by Camilla Nickerson.

They pulled these Jimmy Choo s for me,

which are also well loved.

If you can tell, I wear my heels,

okay?

Unfortunately I wear all of these all the time.

So too bad for my plantar fasciitis.

These are a really special pair

because they have my name in them,

and I remember I was leaving,

and I was like, I really loved these shoes.

And Camilla was like, take them.

A lot of my shoes have my name in them,

because over the years, like I said,

closed mouths don t get fed.

So I ve asked for a lot of shoes

and I ve gotten a lot of nice ones.

Like these were the matching ones to the bumsters

that I was showing you guys earlier,

and it has a fake tusk.

Are you serious?

Look how fab that is.

I m gonna show one more pair,

because these are a really special pair.

There s this place that I found in London

that Amy Winehouse used to get her ballet flats from.

18 pounds, so they re really affordable.

It s called Freed of London, the store,

and it s really nice.

They have a lot of dance shoes.

I went with my friend actually,

and she ended up getting ballroom shoes,

and the girl has never danced so much since.

So I m telling you, if you ever wanna dance in the street,

just like I do, get you some of these shoes,

I m gonna show you guys my bags,

cause I have a lot of bags,

and these are also things that I feel like

I ve collected over the years that I m excited to show you.

Come here.

[mellow music]

I love a bag and I think it s a fab accessory,

and some of these are really, really special.

Adrian from Moschino made me this custom purse.

It s just such a beautiful bag,

and it has my name in it, which is fab.

So anytime I m walking down the street I m like,

they re like, Who is that?

I m like, yeah!

It s also nice, it fits a lot of stuff.

I ve taken this to the beach, I ve taken this to the mall,

sometimes I grocery shop with this.

Grace Ling made this beautiful bag that s a bum.

Love, and it opens up like this.

It s just so cool.

Oh!

And like, look,

there s a whole nother butt under there.

Pieter Mulier and Alaia.

The best thing that s ever happened to the world.

All of these purses are so beautiful.

Like, oh my gosh,

this is my go-to purse.

This and this are my go-to purse.

I just love it so much, they re so chic,

and I wear these all the time,

and he sent them to all of the girls, and it s really nice,

cause they hold special memories.

My first ever Sarah Burton McQueen show,

she gave us these bags.

Look at that, so cute.

She gave us these bags, and I wore this to filth,

clearly, there s a missing gem.

And I asked, I went to McQueen and I was like,

Do you have the gem?

They were like,

Babe, no.

Also like come on ladle.

Look at that ladle purse.

It s fab.

I just think I haven t worn this one yet.

I need to wear this one.

Like on Christmas day, I m like,

yes, you wanna play?

I think it s so much fun.

This bag is really cool.

So Nico from Karej made this bag for the club.

So there s this to hang your jacket up on it

when you re at the club so you can dance

and not have your jacket over the purse.

But it s like hung up.

He s a genius.

The first designer bag I ever got,

it was a Louis Vuitton Speedy bag,

and I like begged my mom for it,

and she saved up and got it for me for

I think I wanna say my 18th birthday.

And I gave it back to her recently

because I wasn t wearing it enough,

and she was always like, if you ever don t wanna wear it,

or you re not wearing it, give it to me.

So I gave it to her.

Shout out to you, Mom.

And my dad was also a big part of that.

He was like, yes,

let s get her the bag.

I was like...

What I ve realized after collecting all these pieces

is I value the pieces that are designer

just as much as the ones that aren t,

as long as they hold memories to me.

I mean, I loved a TJ Maxx backpack.

That was my stuff.

Like in high school, I was mini TJ Maxx backpack down.

I would go through like five of those backpacks a year,

because I was just,

I like to move.

So this is one I got the last year of high school

when I started kind of making a little bit of money.

I got this MCM backpack from the Bay Area, thank you.

Imagine me, hallways with Bay Area,

just like.

This was like a cool girl high school

Bay Area bag to have, for sure.

It s really crazy how much has changed for me in four years,

but it s really special because I feel like

the people that I have in my life,

and the people that I ve loved

and I do love are still in my life.

So I think that s a really special part.

I ve shown you enough.

I actually do have to unpack my apartment.

There s a lot of boxes behind you, so be careful,

but I m gonna have to walk you out.

You know what I m saying.

[upbeat music]

Thank you guys so much for coming to see my closet.

It s still so new for me to have a place like this,

so I m really grateful that you guys

got to be the first ones to see it.

And a reminder, you don t need to have products to be fab.

It s all on energy,

and I m happy you guys got to come see mine.

See you at the next one.

I wanna do a sunglass montage.

Tell me if it s giving.

My friend was like, girl,

you look like a bug.

What year is it?

Right, let me know.

Comment below.

I dunno if the Cabrini boys know this,

but I took this from the show,

and then Bella Hadid wore the look after.

They couldn t find the glasses,

so she had to wear different glasses.

How many books do you think I read today?

Lemme take these off.

I look too smart.
