Alextravagant is my slow fashion label that connects music and fashion. I passionately create unique stage and merchandise designs exclusively for musicians and bands. I craft special products with emotional value, transforming old and discarded textiles that would otherwise end up in a landfill into trendy must-haves. Using various creative techniques, I produce extraordinary upcycled pieces from discarded merchandise, all made in Hannover.

My professional journey has a clear focus. I started with training as a fashion seamstress and retail salesperson, then studied fashion design with a master's degree at Hochschule Hannover. In my over 10 years of self-employment as a designer, I gained diverse experiences in corporate fashion, bespoke tailoring, and teaching. In recent years, my passion for music has led to a professional focus, including assignments for stage clothing and merchandise. The founding of Alextravagant UG in 2023 is based on my expertise, experience, and network in music and fashion.

My offering at Repair Rebels relates specifically to these garments. Is your beloved fan T-shirt or hoodie worn out or in need of an upgrade? Then trust me with it!

From the greats, I admire Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, Vivienne Westwood, and Jean Paul Gaultier. However, I'm also influenced by the style and unconventionality of Bernhard Willhelm and Tamari Nikoleishvili (Penelope’s Sphere), where I completed an internship during my studies.

A new passion of mine is the art of visible mending, creatively handling textile repairs by hand. I greatly admire the work of Anne (The Hole Story from Switzerland) and Aleksandra (Konfekt Kunststopferei in Hamburg).

In many places: fashion I encounter on the streets, the style of musicians on stage and in music videos, social media, films or series, or the always fascinating color plays in nature. Inspiration can be found everywhere.

Repair and upcycling are still niches in the fashion world and our clothing culture. Therefore, it’s important to combine our strengths and skills to reach more people. I’m happy to be part of the Repair Rebels community.
