Alexia Ulibarri
About
Alexia Ulibarri is an independent designer based in Mexico City that creates through concept and functionality.
She believes that fashion is a mixture of inspiration and the understanding of the woman’s form.
After studying fashion design and pattern cutting at London College of Fashion, Marangoni and some courses at Central saint Martins she returns to Mexico, in order to develop her own label.
Through the fusion of personal experiences, stories and work experience in London with time, technology, forms and all kinds of materials she developed an experimental process that as a result created a concept and a design formula in which she finds herself and her collections.
The Look
Alexia Ulibarri is nostalgic, dramatic always concerned of the cut and fit of a garment but yet modern, this is why the inspiration always comes from past and present. She believes in “intelligent luxury” , in the kind of garments that will look divine on a woman and will have an edge detail to make anyone look very special. Each garment of her collections is unique and seeks to adapt to different personalities and body forms through special details and cuts that make them great specially when worn, she believes the concept is materialized and brought to life only when the garment is on the female body. Embroidery, brocades and laser cut antique patterns are the kind of elements that symbolize the detail and craftsmanship in her collections.
