Born and raised in Mexico, Alexia María’s love for fashion began at an early age. Growing up she spent much of her childhood in her grandmother’s atelier where she learned the design process and importance of detailed craftsmanship. She developed a passion for design, designing and wearing her own creations. Enamored with haute couture and the original fashion icons of the 1950s, she favored structured silhouettes and appreciated the challenge to always achieve a carefully tailored look inspired by Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy. 

With an inclination for the golden era of glamour, Alexia Maria launched her namesake brand and made-to-order collection in 2014 with a mission to share classic, sophisticated and elegant evening wear. With her flagship boutique in La Jolla, the brand quickly became a favorite amongst women looking for feminine pieces to elevate their wardrobe. In 2018 Alexia Maria opened her first boutique on the East Coast, in New York City’s upper east side. Today, she designs and oversees the creation of every piece in her Southern California design atelier.
