"If we go to Greece and we pass ten different bakeries, I will have ten pieces of spanakopita." - Alex PerryIn this episode of Three Food Memories recorded at the Bleach Festival on the Gold Coast, you meet fashion designer Alex Perry - whose sharp tailoring, glamorous red-carpet gowns, and signature sunnies have become known worldwide. But before his stratospheric international career in the rag trade, Alex Perry was your average kid of Greek immigrant parents growing up in Matraville, in Sydney. So how did the kid from Syd become a global force on the runway, and how did fashion become the flame that lit something inside him?On the menu is spanakopita, keftedes, and halva. Alex's social cause is the AEIOU FOUNDATION - aeiou.org.au The AEIOU Foundation for Children with Autism provides early intervention that enables children with autism to live their best lives. AEIOU delivers high-quality therapy and care for children aged 2-6. You can find out more at the link above.
