When Alex Delotch Davis walks into a room, she brings with her the poise of a fashion insider, the drive of a strategist, and the soul of a storyteller. Now, as the newly appointed executive director of SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta and France, Davis is positioned at the intersection of global creativity and local culture, and she’s just getting started.
“This is such an exciting time, not just for SCAD FASH, but for the city of Atlanta,” she says. “There’s this incredible momentum happening across the arts, from the return of the city’s contemporary art fair to the expansion of Atlanta Art Week. I’m honored to be a part of that movement.”
An alum of SCAD’s luxury and fashion management program, Davis has spent over 15 years leading brand and arts strategy for some of Atlanta’s most iconic cultural institutions. But her new role isn’t just professional, it’s deeply personal.
“It feels like a full-circle moment for me,” she reflects. “SCAD taught me to dream big and to execute with precision. Now, I want to create the kind of museum experience that sparks inspiration for the next generation.”
At the heart of that inspiration is SCAD FASH’s upcoming exhibition, “André Leon Talley: Style Is Forever,” opening October 15.
“It’s both a love letter and a reflection on legacy,” Davis shares. “André was a SCAD trustee and visionary. This exhibition honors his life, from his roots in North Carolina to the front rows of Paris Fashion Week. Visitors will see his iconic wardrobe, intimate photographs, and archival footage that shows his wit, brilliance, and excellence.”
Davis sees her role as not just curatorial, but community-centered.
“Museums should be places where people see themselves. We want to amplify diverse voices, invite cultural dialogue, and keep the doors open, literally and metaphorically, for everyone.” Under her leadership, SCAD FASH is not only a university asset but a growing hub for creative connection across Atlanta and beyond.
“Museums like SCAD FASH thrive at the intersection of business and creativity,” she says. “It’s about telling powerful stories, celebrating visionary design, and offering people a place to reflect, connect, and feel seen.” With that vision, and her signature mix of strategy, grace, and cultural depth, Alex Delotch Davis is leading SCAD FASH into a bold new chapter. And the city is ready for it.
“Museums like SCAD FASH thrive at the intersection of business and creativity,” Alex Delotch Davis says.
