The Original Alexandra Owensby.
Alexandra Owensby (they/she) is a Brooklyn, NY based artist, engineer, drag artist, co-founder of Brooklyn Irish Dance Company, and cat parent. They are also the creator of the brand “Made by AO," which is Alexandra’s collection of embellished and upcycled sunglasses, accessories, costumes, and art.
Originally created in 2019 as a line of wearable art sunglasses, the brand has grown with the artist. Since then, Made by AO has been featured in several fashion shows, music videos, reality television, and pop ups across both coasts.
As the artist is unabashedly queer, a principle of Made by AO is to bring joy and uplift the queer community, in addition to giving back through mutual aid raffle donations.
The artist also very much enjoys bringing new life into preloved items and working on custom pieces for clients. Reach out if you have an idea for a project or customized glasses.
