What: A luxury evening wear collection inspired by the golden age of film and fashion.
Price Range: $545 – $3,500
Founder: Alexia María Esquer
Origin Story: Born and raised in Mexico, Alexia María Esquer’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 the 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, the designer launched her namesake brand and made-to-order collection in 2014 with a mission to share classic, sophisticated and elegant evening wear.
