Alexandra Moura

Alexandra Moura is a European luxury designer clothing label, founded in Lisbon in 2002 by Portuguese designer Alexandra Moura. Born in Lisbon and trained in fashion design at IADE, Moura left a job in the industry around the turn of the millennium to open her own atelier, and debuted her first collection at ModaLisboa for Autumn/Winter 2002/03. Her conceptual work reworks Portuguese tradition and craft into contemporary fashion. The ready-to-wear collections include dresses, coats, jackets, sharp tailoring, knitwear, shirts and trousers, along with accessories. Pieces are made in Portugal with local makers and natural materials, and the label opened its Atelier Alexandra Moura to clients in 2005. Moura has also designed uniforms and costumes, dressing artists such as Joana Vasconcelos, fado singer Gisela João and DJ Branko, and creating costumes for the Companhia Portuguesa de Bailado Contemporâneo. She has shown in the London Fashion Week official showroom since 2015, in Paris showrooms and on the Milan Fashion Week calendar since 2019. She won the Golden Globe for Best Fashion Designer in Portugal in 2018 and was the only Portuguese designer in the book Young European Fashion Designers.
