Fashion has witnessed its process of struggle showing the transculturation of feminine energy, crossing borders, migrating fabrics, color, textures and styles, that have accompanied women in time and set the standard in positioning.
FEMBRA is the product of the designer’s passion for art, the cultural exchange and the visual impact on each of creation.
The team is comprised of very talented and experienced artists, event planners and floral designers with over 30 years of combined industry experience.
Alexis Carballosa, a local-Miami, Venezuelan fashion designer that incorporates ecological practices into his creations to pair high consciousness for the planet with couture fashion, refined fabrics and exquisite, sensual collections.

Designs is a high-end fashion label that presents meticulously made pieces,
bringing haute couture onto the streets. The company offers personalized
ready-to-wear pieces in both continents: America and Europe, and the company
stemmed from a simple, private atelier in Miami.
It was amongst needles,
fabrics, and his grandmother’s seamstress skills that Alexis took his
first steps towards becoming a fashion designer. Carballosa’s process
began in the form of painting, creating forms of expression through art and
recycled performing art installations in galleries.
He then transitioned to building gowns out of sustainable materials to help Mother Earth.
Alexis says, “I am on a constant search for ways to understand women's needs and reflect based on their looks and different cultural backgrounds. I don’t let myself get carried away with trends.
"Designers should be centered in what inspires them. The pressure to compete and commercialize can kill the inspiration of the creator. You can sell more by remaining faithful to your inventive imagination.
"At the end of the day, fashion is a new way of understanding a client's needs without losing the expression of identity that creates freedom of work.”
Carballosa is inspired by nature, culture, and backgrounds on a conceptual level. His definition of elegance is based on the attitude one has when wearing a certain piece and taking simplicity to its most essential sense.
Prices vary based on textile quality, specific client's requirements, time and complexity, but start at approximately at $180 USD. His designs allow consumers to become more conscious and serve as a bridge between Latin American exuberance and the European refinement.
Carballosa has found overwhelming success in the last few years and has a network of clients spanning Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Latin America.
The brand has been featured on red carpets around the world, including Cannes Film Festival and the Latin Billboards, as well as various publications such as Vogue Spain and Vanity Fair.
Designer Alexis Carballosa's understanding and love for high fashion comes from his grandmother, who had a passion for design. She designed clothes for a demanding and exclusive clientele in Caracas, Venezuela.
Alexis Carballosa has been perfecting techniques passed down by his grandmother in order to dress the avant-garde, modern, and daring women of today.
