Meet the Artist

Alexsis Simmons planted her creative roots at Penumbra Theatre Company in St. Paul, Minnesota, and has long since integrated into the Atlanta arts scene. Chiefly a playwright and performance artist, clothing design is a relatively new passion for Alexsis. She is overjoyed to be once again working with the amazing folks at True Colors, especially with a fresh new medium in hand.

“SHADOW OF FREEDOM”

The elation and trauma of Black radical imagination, documented through the real time conceptualization of a clothing collection. Black Leopard Brand: The Shadow of Freedom Collection. Made in collaboration with Sapimi Media and Sterling Miller.
