Press Release

The Alexi Freeman Diamondiferous Spring Summer 2010/2011 collection launches you on a kaleidoscopic journey through the modern wardrobe, as jewels of sparkling brilliance emanate from the phantasmagoria of pattern and print. As you cast your eyes upon the spectrum of muted pastel hues and monochromatic shades of grey, an array of casually sophisticated and thoroughly modern silhouettes are revealed. These are aided by multifunctional versatility, minimalist block colours and sci-fi accessories.

The pixelated diamond print motif is the driving force behind this collection. Showcasing Freeman’s penchant for textile design, the painstakingly constructed geometric patterns shine from the surface of luxurious silk jerseys and satins throughout the range.

The pastel story is a dreamy nostalgic print palette of spearmint green, bubblegum pink and champagne; reminiscent of the tones produced when light is filtered through a diamond. Distilling the choreography of light and carbon, the pastel print story evokes tranquillity and is the quintessential palette for basking under blue skies and lying beside sea green oceans. The shades of grey print story brings us back to reality reading like urbane camouflage, perfect for manoeuvring through cosmopolitan jungles of concrete and steel.

Referencing 1960’s Pop, neo-cowgirls, sci-fi heroines and a hint of rock ‘n’ roll, a luxe sportswear feel is evoked via anomalous fabrications. Historically dressy silhouettes are reinvigorated with athletic functionality and sporty basics are laced with a hint of luxury. The mercurial quality of silk jersey and the mechanical stretch of the diamond mesh are utilised in Grecian style drapery, while the silk satin and crepe de chine is cut into feminine pleated tailoring. The waxed cotton voile comes through in the form of some softly tailored suiting, while airy knits and pleated shifts are cinched with adjustable snapped belts to compliment the contours of the body. A buttery soft leather biker jacket also adds a touch of androgyny and Parisian charm, while the tasselled accessories contribute to the texture, movement and artisan feel.

This collection also sees the introduction of collaborative accessories with jewellery designer Tessa Blazey. Under the acronym of TBAF, pieces are hand crafted from sterling silver and powder-coated brass. Diamondiferous also sees the third in a series of installation art projects in collaboration with Aaron Roberts of room11 architectural practice, investigating holographic extrusions of the diamond print central to this collection.

Diamondiferous melds the sophisticated with the sporty, seamlessly combining these disparate elements to create a relevant collection that isn’t constrained by seasonal trends. Freeman references prosaic fashion territories as a departure point to create his deceptively casual, sexy and instantly recognisable Alexi Freeman signature style.

Freeman ambitions a valuable contribution to the vernacular of fashion that is paced with longevity in mind, designing pieces that communicate to a broad spectrum of women, proven by his diverse selection of private, corporate and industry clients around the world.

    The worst poses by a model ever seen. Her mouth is open, she slouches her shoulders, her knees are bent,in other words posture is atrosious, she often bends to the one side like a boomerang and then with that I suppose you can critisize the photographer.
