Reigniting the art of dressing up
The Designer
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.
In 2014, Alexia Maria launched her namesake brand and made-to-order collection with a mission to share classic, timeless, 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.
Where Craftsmanship Meets Artistry
The AM Atelier
At Alexia María, we understand the importance of craftsmanship to elevate every silhouette. Our collections are handcrafted and made with love in our Southern California atelier by our passionate team of dressmakers. We personally oversee the construction and production of the collections in our atelier to ensure the highest quality of garments.
Our mission is to provide women with classic, yet modern functional pieces that will outlast any trend. Creatively, we believe that beauty begins with simplicity and precision in tailoring. We believe that craftsmanship equates to artistry and that quality is the only everlasting trend.
