With his often frank, but always humorous, insights into the workings of the local and international fashion industry, Alex is a highly regarded and in-demand public speaker and MC.

A proud Greek-Australian, Alex has also spoken frankly on the subject of growing up Greek at the National Art Gallery Canberra.
Alex’s own unique marketability has been picked up on by Magnolia Silver Jewellery who asked Alex to design and release his own range through their company in 2012. This collaboration continues to grow through 2013 and in to 2014.
Also in the frame is the hugely successful collaboration with optical giant Specsavers which has seen 2 x spectacle ranges, 2 x prescription sunglasses ranges, plus the addition of a men’s range. The Alex Perry for Specsavers range has been one of
Specsavers fastest selling products in Australia and New Zealand.
Recognising that fashion influences not only what we wear but also where and how we choose to live, Alex has formed a unique alliance with property developers Chrome Property Group as Creative Director, to create a range of Alex Perry Residential apartment buildings.
After four years of planning, the first Alex Perry Residential building was launched in 2011 and is located in Brisbane. Nine Alex Perry Residential buildings will roll-out across Australia through to 2021.
