Known for his tender approach and ability to weave poetic storytelling into wearable art, Alix Higgins has carved out his distinctive voice to cultivate a local cult following. Alix is more than a contemporary fashion designer, he is embedded in the Eora/Sydney cultural scene in a way that is to be understood only through participation.
Returning for his fifth solo runway show at AFW since launching his eponymous label in 2021, ‘An Opening Voluntary’ Resort 2027, was a homecoming. A collection scored, as previously, by long time confidant Joan Banoit, their piece ‘Silkhorn’ opened the show and was controlled imperfection; a layering of voices, strings and an undulating beat. The composition spoke to the beauty of Alix Higgins, which lies in his talent in visualising the sensitivities and intricacies that colour his inner world.
