Alexandre Bertrand's journey in fashion began in Paris as a stylist for various magazines, and building on his passion for casting, imagery and publishing. Alexandre delved into the realm of image and communication for Faith Connexion before becoming Head of Design. "I believe in a collective approach and the power of collaboration between Music, Art and Fashion," said Alexandre.
Winston Bartholomew (Barth) started with a career in Architecture. Inspired by visionaries, the Brooklyn native transitioned to fashion 20 years ago, and has built a streetwear business based on on-demand manufacturing, styling and entertainment and working alongside creatives. Barth's spirit and approach was recently featured in the HBO series "The Hype, Season 2", a fashion competition focused on streetwear, which he won. "This opportunity offered by Faith Tribe is what is needed to help brands in my position. On-demand manufacturing gives me the opportunity to scale cost efficiently and sustainably in any market. A game changer for designers like me," said Barth.
Nayibe Warchausky, a Venezuelan artist professionally trained as an architect, sculptor and jewelry designer in the US and Italy, has amassed international success with her sculptural approaches to "wearable pieces of art" achieved through the deconstruction, re-construction, and re-appropriation of unconventional materials. Her career has led her to redefine how we perceive jewelry and to expand her creative process into jewelry for the home. "I believe in protecting Global Craftsmanship and I am proud to join Faith Tribe as an Ambassador to help inspire the new creative voices of our industry," said Nayibe.
Andrea Albrizio was a high school student when he designed, manufactured and sold his first fashion creations. Paris-based Andrea launched his first collection at age 17, with no formal training and gained extraordinary popularity in social media, selling out in just two months. Three years later, in 2023, his graduation collection at Institut Français de la Mode was the first to feature a phygital garment. It was selected for the official fashion week calendar of Paris Fashion Week and featured by Vogue. "Being the first designer to feature a garment in Augmented Reality at Paris Fashion Week was a very special milestone for me. The phygital approach allows me to explore new dimensions of creativity, captivating the public through interactive experiences and cultivating stronger community bonds," said Andrea.
Faith Tribe plans to announce four Ambassadors every six months and will soon unveil a series of activities, products and events involving the Ambassadors and their collaborations with the Faith Tribe ecosystem. To kick off the partnership, Faith Tribe will open the Phygital Fashion Show of Digital Fashion Week NYC on September 9th in New York, where Andrea Abrams and Maria Buccellati will introduce Winston Bartholomew and Andrea Albrizio and showcase their phygital collections.
