Edgy, exciting and creatively unique, this collection made my head turn (literally) and we at Keep The Wolf love XD's SS12 collection. Bringing the fun to tailoring and adding new dimension to clothing this collection will definitely be standing out next year.
So heres a insight into whats to come and the brand behind this collection.
Tell us about the brand
Exclusive women's fashion brand of higher price level. Unique design and unconventional construction, moved shapes in a new dimension - XD DIMENSION.
Uncompromised quality in production and fabrics.
Our brand was founded in 1986. At the beginning we already had individual approach when designing clothes. We were original and unique and started attracting lots of customers.
XD Xenia Design develops and in 2008. we got the prize for the entrepreneur of the year and it was the first prize in Croatia that was given to someone in fashion business.
Now we are an equal member of all important fashion happenings of World fashion scene(CPD Dusseldorf, Pure London, The Train New York, Atmosphere Paris, CIFF Copenhagen, CPM Moscow) whose recognition made Mrs Ksenija Vrbanic the leading designer in Croatia.
What matters most to you when designing
The main inspiration for our collections is in constructions. Because of that fact our style is called architectural. But also we find inspiration in new trends and this is how we choose fabrics and colours. In every collection the base colours are black and white. We are also inspired by New York, Paris and London street style and the huge role goes to music, movies and history.
Tell us about the SS/12 collection
Our new SS/12 collection is called "...be inspired with xd gemoetria..." It is inspired mainly with geometry, the base is in most perfect geometrical shape-circle. Circle in construction of different parts of clothing. Circle in square.The collection also includes colour blocking, Breton stripes, the print of English rose and of course black and white. The strict form is involved in soft female silhouette. The accent is on dresses which are comfortable to wear because of it's combination of silk and viscose jersey.
Whats your favourite piece from the collection
Our favourite piece is checked trench coat with balloon skirt and asymmetrical dresses with extravagant colours.
What can we expect from Xenia for next year
Right now we are building the first design center in Croatia, there will be collaboration of students from international college's with real fashion design industry and the research on new technologies and the development of new collections. You can also expect the bigger impact on international market and the new collections full of surprises.
Complex construction that wont compromise comfortability then crafted into modern feminine shapes is something we at KTW love. We cant wait to see the whole collection next year so keep watch too.
