Born in Chicago, Alvita Lozano showed an early interest in sociology, and talent for fashion styling before moving to Michigan to earn a degree in interior design at Michigan State University.
She built a career in architectural interior design/project management working in the commercial sector for 10 years. In 2010 she launched her Blog: “FreeStyle In Detroit” exploring the emerging fashion and art scene with a sociological range of topics. In the spring of 2011 she was hired to style a commercial fashion themed advertising campaign for Coldwell Banker providing wardrobe, art, and photo shoot direction, which appeared in Hour, Detroit Home, and StyleLine Magazines.
