Alex Mucci, singer and alt model with almost 4.5 million followers on Instagram with a degree in Aerospace Engineering

Born in Pescara on January 17, 1988, her name is Alessia Mucci, known on the web as Alex Mucci or Alexis Mucci. She studied aerospace engineering and graduated in 2013, and in the meantime she never stopped to work as a Bartender to pay her studies’ expenses. Then she moved to Australia (Sydney) where she also worked as a pastry chef, until 2016, when she – after a huge disappointment of love – decided to leave Oceania and go back to her native country, Italy.

A broken heart which brought a great popularity

“I had my heart broken in Australia… So I decided to go back to my family in Italy and… well, I soon felt like a whole new person! I was finding myself and my happiness again and suddenly the social popularity fell accidentally on me. Since then I have been working mostly as an influencer, alt model and singer” says the young woman. She did not expect that she would have become one of the most followed models and influencers worldwide, having achieved a popularity that counts almost 5 million followers all over the web and its social platforms.

What’s her secret?

“I have always had a strong artistic sense. I am able to stand out always and i like to surprise people around me” and she continues “I am continuously asked how I did it. My answer is always: content, consistency and personality”. Now that Instagram is full of models and influencers, it really takes a lot of effort to emerge and Alexis, with her sexy, provocative, and always original shots, is certainly doing great so far!

Succes carries her to the music scene

Alexis soon managed to enter the Italian music market too, signing with the label of the most famous Italian rapper Jake la Furia (May 2019). She had an amazing outcome with her first two songs, F.P.F. and Foto Nuda and all her followers are waiting for her new hit, expected for the early 2022. Rumors say it will be a featuring with a very famous singer of her country.

Her motherhood shocked the web

In December 2020, Alexis posted a photo of her belly in front of the mirror and shocked the web: she let her followers know that she was pregnant. Her daughter, Asia Andrea, was born in August 2021. The young model obtained exactly what she wanted: she had already expressed the desire to become a mother in lots of her past interviews.

How she deals with her haters

Young women who create sensual contents are haters’ favorite target: it is easy to find tons of negative comments under their posts, left from those who judge their lifestyle. Alexis doesn’t let herself be taken down by hating: it doesn’t seem to upset Alexis, who believes that haters’ existence helps her to grow her popularity: “Nowadays, unfortunately, hating creates the greatest hype!” she asserts. She also constantly tries to fight the heavy stigma that has always plagued her category: her speech at TedX (June 2021) is really famous and touching.

Sustainability is an ongoing theme in a world that finally answers the environment’s call to action. From toning down single-use plastics to making subtle yet powerful lifestyle changes, modern society means business when it comes to the green revolution.

The skincare industry, in particular, is pitching in by resorting to clean beauty. From Greece to the Netherlands, Amalia Pavlidou stumbled upon a revelation. As she browsed rows of natural products, the idea for Alternative Therapies began to take shape—a skincare line rooted in nature, yet forward-thinking in science.

The Evolution of a Conscious Skincare Movement

As consumers demand more transparency in their beauty routines, the natural and vegan skincare market is booming. Alternative Therapies finds itself at the heart of this eco-conscious shift.

“When we started, it was not just about creating products—it was about driving a movement that would help put the world on track toward healing,” says Amalia Pavlidou. “I wanted to prove that luxury and sustainability can coexist without canceling each other out.”

This philosophy shines through in every detail, from the company’s recyclable glass packaging to its commitment to avoiding harmful chemicals like parabens and sulfates. One of the flagship products, the vitamin C serum, is a true reflection of this concept, blending 2% natural Vitamin C, ferulic acid, and sea-buckthorn to deliver both radiant skin and a clean conscience.

Alternative Therapies, once a small player, has utilized this trend, entering the competitive U.S. market this year. “There is a deep-rooted connection between nature and self-care in Greek culture,” explains Pavlidou. “We are bringing that tradition to the global stage, blending it with progressive science.”

The Rise of Eco-Beauty

Amalia Pavlidou’s plan for progress in the industry—one where luxury does not compromise ethics—has attracted a growing community of supporters. As Alternative Therapies expands its presence in the U.S., it remains grounded in its mission to redefine beauty standards.

“When I started this, I was hoping to do more than simply build a business—I wanted to build a legacy,” reflects Pavlidou. “Apart from looking good, beauty should be about feeling good and doing good.”

Now the question is not whether the beauty industry will embrace sustainability—it is how quickly it can catch up with pioneers like Alternative Therapies taking the reins. With its commitment to changing the world with mild ingredients, the brand is crafting a greener glow, lighting the way for a more conscious industry. To that effect, it is evident that luxury and beauty can be synonymous.
