Alex Toccin

Co-founder of Toccin and LDT

What do you do?

Alex met her now husband, Michael Toccin, 19 years ago and the two have been a creative team ever since. After moving to New York, studying at Parsons, and establishing her career in the fashion industry, she and Michael decided to launch their own business together — a digital platform helping women talk about fashion and trends in an approachable way. This inspired the launch of their first lifestyle collection of “get-it-together” pieces in September 2019, TOCCIN, currently available at Toccin.com, Saks, Neiman Marcus, and specialty stores nationwide. Inspired by the enthusiasm for Toccin, Alex + Michael launched a new collection in January 2021 exclusively with Dillards, LDT: A fresh take on American Fashion. Named after their daughter, Liv Dakota Toccin, LDT takes the signature “put together” aesthetic for which Alex is known and celebrated, and infuses it with a bold youthful joy. Alex shares an authentic look into her no-day-is-the-same life as a wife, mother + entrepreneur on the @alexandmichaeltoccin channel.
