Nigel Xavier's Archive Collection Reflects His Creative Evolution Before and After 'Next In Fashion'
The season 2 winner delivers a 150-piece upcycled collection made over seven years.
Atlanta-based fashion designer Nigel Xavier won first prize in the second season of Netflix‘s design show, Next in Fashion. Xavier’s deconstructed patchwork became a standout in the sea of competitors, creating upcycled attire that rekindled pre-loved garments into something new.
Nigel Xavier is preparing to release his new Archive collection, constructed before and after his appearance on Next in Fashion. The designer’s one-of-a-kind pieces are entirely unique, using diverse textiles that are never the same. The collection embraces a streetwear identity, featuring baggy silhouettes ornamented with handmade decor.
Xavier’s 150-piece offering includes reconstructed patchwork denim with frayed edges and graffiti-style illustrations. Carpeted dresses and tracksuits boast an Eastern feel, while quilted hoodies receive multi-colored threading. Vintage True Religion jeans comprise pocketed jumpsuits, outerwear, and skirts, completing the collection with various street-ready looks.
Take a closer look at Nigel Xavier‘s Archive collection in the gallery above. The collection is available now via the designer’s website.
