J. Alexander

J. Alexander, the inimitable Miss J, occupies a special place in my book as fashion's runway evangelist. A Bronx-raised model who became the walk coach on America's Next Top Model, he turned teaching into its own form of stardom, and I admire people who find more joy in developing talent than in chasing their own spotlight. His turn on the 2026 Netflix documentary Reality Check shows there is real history worth revisiting there. Born in 1958, he broke open a narrow industry on sheer presence and refusal to fit a mold, and that earns my applause.
