Ghita Spring 2008 ( Photos by: Lorenzo Cinligilo/NY Post & Wireimage )

Alexis Phifer is not only arm candy. In fact, she proved this with the premiere of her Spring 2008 Ghita runway show last week.

Ghita was actually launched in 2005 but, Alexis certainly has been designing way before being with the Louis Vuitton Don. Graduating from FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in California, Phifer clearly has always had her mind set on creating a high fashion line of her own.

Ghita, which refers to a gem or means “pearl of the sea” is a collection full of fun yet, fashionable party dresses. Alexis’s inspiration is said to be a futuristic touch to the 80’s and is very evident in her 2008 Spring line. Socialites such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have already been seen in the threads, and we can probably expect to see more of it in the future…

You can currently purchase Ghita at a few boutiques and chains, including Intermix, Henri Bendel and Fred Segal. Learn more about Ghita and Alexis Phifer at ghitafashion.com.

I saw her show on Tv.. something on this new york channel that shows all the fashion shows well clips during fashion week.. the dresses looked the same to me nothing new .. and the models taking pics at the end of the catwalk was not a good look. The models wearing her garmets uptop looked better then the ones in the show.

I’m so proud to see a strong black woman accomplishing smething in her life. I’m a bit disappointed that people thinks she is a golddigger. From what I see she wentto school and worked hard to get where she is. Personally I think her becoming associated with Kanye is bad for her, she could have done better probably but it could be because I think his music is not my cup of tea and his lifestyle is not appealing to me, but that’s the spotlight, he’s probably a very nice and caring man. I do wish them the best. I LOVE HER CLOTHES It’s nice to see dresses with flare and the intricate design is very appealing to the eye and such detail WoW. From one black woman to another YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!
