Tiffany Alana

Launched in 1998, Tiffany Alana Wolff's sexy, shoulder-baring styles and uneven 'handkerchief' hemlines instantly hit the Hollywood big-time, with a legion of celebrity fans including Cameron Diaz, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera, Brooke Burns and Jennifer Lopez.

Retailers were quick to pick up the trendsetting look, and Tiffany Alana is now a top-selling mainstay for major national department stores including Saks Fifth Avenue, Barney's New York, Nordstrom and Macy's, as well as more than 200 top boutiques across the US. Her designs are consistently seen on celebrity clotheshorses, in fashion bibles, and were featured on 'The View' in April 2004 as 'Must-Have Spring Fashion' pieces.

Wolff moved to Southern California from her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri as a teen, and a year of studying fashion design and merchandising sealed her current fate. At the age of 21, with stints as a Hollywood fashion stylist and costume designer already behind her, she achieved the kind of commercial and design success that remain in the realms of fantasy for most young designers. Celebrity fans still commission one-of-a-kind pieces.
