eviealaïa serves as an extension of individual identities and fosters connections among individuals. pre-owned garments possess a distinct allure, each carrying a unique narrative shaped by its past. by engaging in intentional consumption, we honor the stories encapsulated within these items and celebrate the inherent beauty of individuality and personal expression.

inviting you to make informed choices that genuinely reflect your identity, thereby fostering a redefinition of what it means to embody style, sustainability, and self-awareness in contemporary society.

founded by chicago native megan avila, evie alaia is a reflection of her passion for both archive and emerging fashion. as a fervent admirer of innovative design, megan brings her expertise as the founder of pluto diaries (instagram linked here) —a curated platform that she describes as a space for her 'hyperfixations.' this dynamic venture offers a continuum of curated emerging designers and insightful editorials within the beauty and fashion realms. she is also the founder and curator of archive 00009 (instagram linked here)—a digital art gallery featuring global exhibitions and installations. through her eye, megan fosters a rich dialogue between established aesthetics and contemporary trends, celebrating the diverse narratives that shape the fashion and artistic landscape.
