Alexi Freeman

Alexi Freeman was born on December 24, 1978, in Hobart, Australia.

Formally trained in Fine Art at the University of Tasmania, majoring in printmaking and sculpture (1996-2004) Freeman's art practice heavily referenced fashion concepts and aesthetics, producing limited edition prints and garments before receiving the Manufacturing Design Fund from Arts Tasmania (2005) enabling the genesis of the Alexi Freeman fashion label in 2006.

Currently based in Melbourne, his collections for women incorporate elements of hand drawn & printed textiles worked into drape and juxtaposed with tailoring. Freeman has since completed 10 seasons of ready-to-wear, selling to a select list of boutiques and private clients in Australia, New Zealand, USA and Europe. Freeman's collections are a graphic tribute to the world in which we live and his raison d'être is to lure fashion into bed with art, catalyse the rise of understated avant-garde and popularise the notion of urban couture, all the while empowering and paying homage to the modern woman.

The Alexi Freeman brand has collaborated with numerous other artists and designers including designer Chantal Kirby, Aaron Roberts (room11 Architects), film maker Tom Blachford and jeweller Tessa Blazey.
