ALIX OF MIAMI

In the post-World War II period, the city of Miami, Florida became a leader in the development of "modern" mid 20th Century design.  The city's location lent itself to modernism with a twist of tropical.  Among the many manufacturing business that sprung up during this time was the dress-making firm of Alix of Miami.

Alix of Miami made beautiful cocktail and dinner dresses with a tropical edge.  They also made glamorous swimsuits, with were often studded with rhinestones.

Not much is known about the company.  One of the founders was Luther V. Powell, who later worked at Serbin, another Miami clothing manufacturer.  We believe the company was open from the early 1950s into the 1960s.
