Melbourne's State Of Design festival is in full swing - and so far, we've not been disappointed. As we've been happily following the work of local design talent Alexi Freeman for some time, we thought we'd point out the label's presence on the festival calendar. Architecture and fashion collide in a collaboration between Alexi Freeman and Aaron Roberts of Room11, as part of the intriguing Cloud 19 exhibition:
"Focusing on the interconnected realms of both disciplines, the collaboration will explore the intersection of processes developed by both practices. The AFAR PROJECT #2 recontextualises the plaid motif in the ALEXI FREEMAN Spring Summer 09/10 collection, plays with the interplay of shadow and light and concepts relating to current room11 work."

Visit Alexi's website at http://www.alexifreeman.com/, or more from the State of Design festival at http://www.stateofdesign.com.au/. Be quick, because it all ends this weekend.
