Georgia Chapman, co-founded the fashion label Vixen Australia in Melbourne in 1993. Over 15 years Chapman has built up the brand from accessories and sarongs to include two major fashion collections per year. She combines her passion for designing original handcrafted textiles with their use in a limited production fashion range. Chapman's design process includes experimenting with layering textures, colours and patterns using techniques like dyeing, over-dyeing, hand printing, etching and embellishing. Chapman has always been committed to hand production but now outsources printing and construction with digital printing opening up new possibilities. A new homewares range now wholesales throughout Australia. The Vixen flagship store opened in Fitzroy, Melbourne in March 2007.
