Rio Olympics

When the 2016 Olympics arrived in Rio, so did Alexia. She played a key role in the design and production of the costumes for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games, producing nearly 10,000 costumes in one year. This fast-paced, creatively enriching time proved to be a turning point for Alexia, opening her up to the world of Brazilian costume production and Carnaval. She’s lived in Brazil ever since.
