As the daughter of avid art collectors, Alana developed a keen eye for art and style at a young age as well as gained an education in art history from her parents. Art and travel were equal constants in Alana’s upbringing, influencing her understanding of different cultures, people, and multiple languages.
In her early twenties, Alana founded Kymerah, a New York City-based clothing line where she dressed some of the world’s top celebrities including Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mena Suvari, Taylor Swift and Charlize Theron. Her garments were sold at global retailers such as Neiman Marcus and Shopbop. She also developed a private label for Urban Outfitters called Era by Kymerah sold in stores all over the United States. After deciding to sell her fashion line, Alana moved back to her hometown of Paris to follow in her family’s footsteps of working in the arts. Her next move was to Saint-Tropez where she learned about selling art while working in some of the world’s top galleries.
In 2016, Alana became the art curator for the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach where she organized art exhibits and events, partnering with different artists and galleries internationally. Alana’s experience at the Delano is marked by conceptualizing and executing programs for Art Basel for four consecutive years.
Alana founded AVP Art Agency on the belief that art has the power to shape how we view the world. By working with developers and artists, AVP Art Agency creates meaningful spaces that bring inclusivity to the art world.
