With Your Host, Elizabeth Formosa

Experience

With a passion for fashion, she launched her namesake label ALEXANDRA in Melbourne in 2016. Today, the brand’s headquarters, thriving eCommerce business, first bricks-and-mortar store, and creative studio are all based on the Gold Coast.


“The balance of performance marketing and brand marketing”

The brand embodies Lexi's vision — and that of countless women like her — who lead busy, multifaceted lives, seeking comfort and ease without sacrificing style. The label focuses on timeless, ready-to-wear essentials that prioritise longevity over fleeting trends, balancing elevated detail with relaxed silhouettes, creating a signature comfortable feel,

Balancing the demands of content creation with rising costs, Lexi launched Beau Bell Studio as a versatile photography space for the brand and the broader creative community. Lexi supports local startups by providing affordable access, recognising the challenges new businesses face in managing costs while striving to make their mark.

Lexi has been a client of mine for the past 18 months, and I’m always thrilled to showcase the incredible, talented entrepreneurs I have the privilege of working with every day.

During our chat, Lexi and I dive into:

  • The key learnings of a growing business

  • The power of brand elevation

  • Building a strong connection with customers

  • The balance of performance marketing and brand marketing

  • The excitement of opening your first store

  • Leading a growing team

  • Launching Beau Bell, her own creative studio on the Gold Coast

  • And so much more!
