RIXO
There aren’t many successful labels that can say they were born out of a mistake, but Rixo (pictured, above) is one of them.
Having spotted a gap in the market for beautifully made, vintage-inspired dresses at an attainable price, Orlagh McCloskey and Henrietta Rix left their jobs as buyers at ASOS in 2015 to start the brand from their west London flat. They had recruited a friend to design the prints for their collection, but a last-minute schedule clash occurred and the duo, who had no formal design training, were left to do it themselves.
