Although footwear and fashion has been experiencing a renaissance when it comes to DIY culture, Alexandra Hackett aka Mini Swoosh has been cooking up deconstructed and reconstructed wearable projects for quite some time. Known for her dedication to reworking sports apparel and accessories under her own label Studio ALCH — which is stocked at renowned department store Selfridges — the lifelong Swoosh fan has recently become a frequent collaborator of Nike’s. Transforming banal pieces like duffle bags and dri-fit socks into clothing or armchairs, this young designer has firmly carved out her own path and cemented her status as a design force to watch.
