Stavroula Adameitis is an Australian artist known for her bold and bombastic Pop Art fashion designs, neon light artworks and immersive installations working under the alias Frida Las Vegas. Inspired by her memories growing up in suburbia during the 1980s and 1990s, Stavroula's work remixes nostalgia with a graphic sensibility to create an explosive statement across visual art, fashion, homewares and accessories.
