Georgia Chapman co-founded the fashion label Vixen Australia in 1992. Here she combines her passion for designing original handcrafted textiles with their use in a limited production fashion range and homewares.

Chapman’s design process includes experimenting with layering textures, colours and patterns using techniques like dyeing, over-dyeing, hand printing, etching and embellishing.

Her design and textile printing studio is in Fitzroy, Melbourne. Working with a small team, including fashion designers, the production of textiles is carried out in-house. Chapman has always been committed to hand production but digital printing is opening up new possibilities.

Chapman’s work was included in the 2007 Powerhouse Museum exhibition 'Smart works: design and the handmade’.
