Wise words, Daisy von Furth, wise words.
X-girl is the sister to Japanese label X-Large and, as I type, is only available in Japan. In 1994, when the label was launched, the brands directors were Daisy Von Furth and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth *cue fangirl squeee*
While is lasted in it’s RIOT GRRRL format, it was pretty darn cool. With all the clean lines and simple tailoring, it reminds me of a no boys-allowed Fred Perry.

Did you notice a very young Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola in the video? And Chloe Sevigny was their original fit model. ANDandand and and… *fades into silence*
EDIT – While we’re on the subject of music in fashion, you can watch a video of myself and Dawn of Skinni Peach talking about fashion in music with our playlist on the Teen RTE (think Irish BBC) website . The video will be on the website for a week, so have a click and see what we like! You’ll get to see me move and speak (a bit like an Irish Daria Morgendorffer) and display abysmal posture. What an incentive.
>True indie inspiration….I checked out the vid well done you, although Limp Bizkit?? (just kidding I have a few guilty pleasures on my own iPOD including Rollin!! – the shame!
) With you all the way on the QOTSA…what a band
>I love anything Chloe is in, honestly!
>Wow, so what I'm thinking about right now! X-girl has come up quite a bit recently, definitely need to learn more about them. x
>I like the cuts, but they're far too bright and happy looking for my own wardrobe, lol!
>Sarah, I totally share the Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach shame with you. May as well throw in Korn and Spineshank too while we're at it sure. SCARLET.
>Chloe Sevigny, always the girl who is in the right clothes. Love this post. Never heard of the brand. I must check it out.
SarahDPS My mother is mad for this wedding, also. Going all out for it. She might as well be there in the church with them. ha
