Born and raised in Mexico, Alexia María developed her passion for fashion from an early age. She spent much of her childhood in her grandmother’s atelier, where she was introduced to the design process and the significance of meticulous craftsmanship. Inspired by the glamour and original style icons of the 1950s—including cinematic legends and screen sirens like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy—María eventually began designing her own collections. She favors structured silhouettes and is dedicated to achieving a perfectly tailored look. Designing with the mission to reignite the art of dressing up, her collections showcase a bespoke approach to tailoring, offering a modern perspective on a timelessly feminine aesthetic.
Based in San Diego, California, the brand is creatively driven by the belief that beauty lies in simplicity and precision in tailoring, and that craftsmanship is synonymous with artistry. María aims to provide women with classic yet modern and functional pieces that will endure beyond fleeting trends.
Alexia Maria’s 2026 collection, titled “A Year of Elegance,” marks the launch of the new model and a defining moment for the brand, as it transitions to a seasonless, annual collection approach. It reflects Alexia María’s dedication to designing timeless eveningwear staples—pieces that transcend seasons and offer versatility, sculptural beauty and the brand’s emblematic bows. Designed to become foundational elements in a woman’s wardrobe, the collection seamlessly blends classic femininity with a modern, architectural sensibility.
“Elegance has always been at the heart of Alexia María. It is present in every bow, every sculpted silhouette and every thoughtful stitch crafted in our California atelier,” said María. “This collection brings that essence forward through an atemporal design philosophy: versatile, timeless pieces designed to transcend trends and move with you through the year’s seasons and special occasions.”
The new 30-piece collection is available in 10 different colors, with each style made to order in María’s San Diego atelier in 10 to 14 business days.
“I’ve always designed for the women in my life—elegant, graceful and endlessly inspiring. This collection is a reflection of them, and of the incredible women who wear Alexia María and elevate dressing up into an art form of their own.”
