Haute Sailing Alexander McDiarmid As a Luxury Brand Influencer, I am introduced to extraordinary brands in various classifications. One such category is that of Superyachts. I became acquainted with Alexander McDiarmid Design and was intrigued by the out of the box design concepts that he and his full-service design team create in the world of Superyachts. Quite a talent in his own right, Alexander McDiarmid has over 15 years of international design experience and has worked for international names and brands in the yacht, aviation and design worlds including naval architects Gilles Vaton, Philippe Briand and Tony Castro. His namesake studio’s foundation employs the untold wealth of design flair and creativity while bringing new and exciting ideas to the table. For my readers who have a penchant for yachting and an appreciation for an innovative approach to yacht designs, you will certainly enjoy my Q & A with the visionary, and provocative Alexander McDiarmid. Enjoy! Alexis ~
