Growing up among a family of dressmakers and designers, fashion runs through Alex Monte-Vasta’s veins. Fortunately her textile and design teachers recognised this talent early on and nurtured her passion through highschool.
Three years later, she enrolled in a fashion degree at the prestigious, Whitehouse Institute of Design that would see her walk away with some `pretty serious training’. Since graduation, Alex told Fashion Exposed Blog she has been non-stop designing, travelling and thinking about Alex Flamingo.
We are proud to announce her label, Alex Flamingo as a finalist in the Debut competition at the Melbourne Fashion Exposed trade event.
Read our intimate chat with the emerging designer where she reveals the rock’n'roll inspiration behind her `Rule the Night’ collection; the story behind the brand name; and the collection’s highlight pieces – think Iggy Pop pants and Jagger capes.
