Meet A-lanna

A-lanna’s career has always lived at the intersection of beauty, fashion, and entertainment—long before those worlds officially converged.

Long before she entered luxury fashion houses or global beauty brands, music had already claimed her. By the age of seven, A-lanna was picking out melodies by ear. In elementary school, she became the only girl in her grade to land a lead solo in a full musical production. She sang and danced throughout childhood, wrote poetry privately to regulate emotion, hosted her middle school news channel, and became a published poet by thirteen. That early instinct for rhythm, storytelling, and presence never left—it simply evolved.

A-lanna began her professional career in 2012 with Dior, working as a Business Manager producing large-scale beauty events inside luxury department stores. These were immersive productions—often involving up to forty makeup artists at a time—designed to blend artistry, performance, and commerce into unforgettable brand experiences. The results were immediate. Within a year, she was promoted to manage an account nearly three times the size and formally welcomed into the LVMH family.

While her role was rooted in business, A-lanna was constantly absorbing the artistry around her—studying technique, transformation, and creative execution. Outside of work, she began refining her makeup skills and collaborating with models who encouraged her to attend an open call. Around the same time, through an unexpected opportunity connected to radio, she attended a national scouting event for top modeling agencies.

That moment became a turning point.

A-lanna caught the attention of Muse Management, was flown to New York City, and signed almost immediately—joining the agency’s newly launched curve board alongside industry trailblazers. It was then she realized her destiny wasn’t adjacent to fashion and entertainment—it was firmly inside of it.

As her modeling career developed, A-lanna continued balancing both sides of the industry. She was recruited by Chanel as a resident makeup artist, creating a rare bridge between beauty artistry and business leadership. This chapter expanded into brand ambassadorships and management roles with Clinique and Estée Lauder, deepening her understanding of global branding, product strategy, and consumer psychology.

Her work with the Estée Lauder Companies eventually opened the door to Chicago, where fashion took center stage once again. A-lanna was recruited by Michael Kors, launching a defining chapter of her career. Beyond managing the business, she became a trusted conduit between customer and designer—consistently reporting insights that later appeared in handbag and accessories collections.

Within her first year, Michael Kors opened a $2 million flagship shop-in-shop inside Macy’s State Street Chicago under A-lanna’s leadership. She received a signed letter from Michael Kors himself and was inducted into the brand’s Million Dollar Club, earning a custom-designed watch created for a select few nationwide who reached that milestone.

Following fashion, A-lanna returned to beauty at a global level, leading the Chicago location for Space NK. The role brought her frequently to New York City, where she trained alongside brand founders, global artists, and creative directors—absorbing innovation, artistry, and high-level business strategy. She brought that knowledge back to Chicago, building teams, launching brands, and translating vision into measurable success.

Through every chapter—beauty, fashion, modeling—A-lanna was quietly preparing for her next evolution: music.

Fashion taught her identity.

Cosmetics taught her transformation.

Modeling taught her presence.

Business taught her discipline.

Music is where it all converges.

Today, A-lanna brings every discipline together through sound. Her artistry carries emotional depth, elegance, and lived experience—crafted by someone who understands not only how to create, but how culture, branding, and connection truly work.
