Biography

American model, reality TV personality and runway coach, also known as Miss J.

He is best known for his work on television program America's Next Top Model. He travels extensively for the fashion and modelling industries, and currently lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

As a teenager he turned to modelling when he met the president of Elite Model Management, Monique Pillard. Pillard was so impressed with his look that she signed him to her agency, and he walked for designer Jean Paul Gaultier in New York City. Alexander met Tyra Banks backstage at a runway show, and he began to give her walking lessons. Banks coined Alexander's title "Queen of the Catwalk".

He has been coaching and casting models since 1991, including supermodel Naomi Campbell and model Kimora Lee Simmons. He has helped with casting and coaching models for well-known designers such as Hervé Léger, Bill Blass, Valentino, John Galliano, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, and Nina Ricci.

Alexander is openly gay and has a son named Boris. Both Alexander and his ex-boyfriend donated sperm to a French lesbian who wanted a child, and Alexander's ex is the biological father. Alexander has said that he has a "very active role" in Boris' life.
