There are three lessons RIXO taught us – dressing-up is for daytime, floor-length can be casual and style transcends season. Born out of a lifelong love of vintage dressing, best friends Henrietta Rix & Orlagh McCloskey combine the silhouettes of yesteryear with their hand-painted florals, stars and abstract spots for a modern-vintage vibe. Forget trawling the markets for hidden gems – these signature silk dresses beat any flea market find.
Fusing 70s influences with a relaxed and refined edge, Rixo specialises in hand-painted, original prints inspired by vintage items, created for the modern woman. Their bold, unique floral and animal patterns are found across a range of highly stylised dresses, skirts and blouses that follow a timeless shape.
