There is an undeniable allure to high fashion—the craftsmanship, the timeless silhouettes, the effortless elegance. But true style isn’t about dressing head to toe in designer labels; it’s about the way pieces are curated, layered, and worn with confidence. The secret? Mastering the art of mixing high and low fashion—pairing luxury statement pieces with accessible, everyday staples to create a look that is both elevated and effortless.
At Clever Alice, this philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. Our carefully curated collections blend the best of both worlds: exclusive designer sample sale treasures from NYC, Paris, and LA, alongside stylish and accessible private labels from Seoul and Paris. We believe great style is about balance—investing in key statement pieces while seamlessly incorporating versatile, affordable essentials.
Along with our newest addition to the Clever Alice Collection Saintt Sinners, a luxury 3D knitwear brand.
The beauty of high-low dressing lies in contrast. The sharp structure of a tailored designer coat takes on a fresh, modern edge when thrown over a casual knit dress and boots. A delicate silk blouse becomes effortlessly cool when styled with worn-in denim. The juxtaposition of luxury fabrics and everyday textures—cashmere against cotton, leather paired with soft knits—creates a dynamic interplay that feels intentional, not forced.
At Clever Alice, we make this styling approach effortless by offering a mix of exclusive high-end designer samples and stylish yet accessible ready-to-wear pieces. Our collection isn’t about chasing trends but about curating a wardrobe that feels unique, sophisticated, and wearable. Such as staple pieces from Compañia Fantastica, or Molly Bracken which offer affordable timeless styles made from top materials.
Luxury isn’t just about a label—it’s about quality, fit, and the way a piece makes you feel. A beautifully tailored coat from a Parisian designer sample sale instantly elevates even the simplest look, whether draped over a crisp white tee and relaxed trousers or paired with a form-fitting midi dress. Similarly, a statement handbag or artisanal accessory can transform an otherwise understated outfit into something undeniably chic.
Clever Alice brings these key investment pieces directly to you—timeless blazers, structured outerwear, and effortlessly elegant dresses—all at up to 75% off retail prices. Our carefully sourced selections allow you to own a piece of high fashion without the high-fashion markup.
At the same time, our private labels from Seoul and Paris offer a curated selection of stylish essentials that complement these standout designer finds. A soft knit sweater, a perfectly tailored pair of trousers, or an easy silk slip dress—these are the versatile pieces that form the foundation of a wardrobe built for high-low styling.
Personal style is about more than just clothing; it’s about confidence, creativity, and the art of mixing the unexpected. At Clever Alice, we believe that fashion should feel effortless yet refined, modern yet timeless. Our philosophy is simple: invest in key pieces that bring you joy, layer them with smart, wearable essentials, and let your wardrobe tell a story that is uniquely yours.
With locations in the West Village (87 Christopher Street), Nolita (4 Prince Street), and online, we make it easy to shop the best of both worlds—luxury statement pieces at unbeatable prices and everyday staples that fit seamlessly into your life. Because great style isn’t about exclusivity; it’s about finding beauty in the balance.
