The big chill is setting in. Yet, nothing freshens up the cold months like a touch of whimsical style that is guaranteed to bring to mind the bright days and balmy nights of warmer seasons.
X-TN’s winter collection combines the best of subdued fall colors with dreamy pale pink and creamy off white palettes for a vibrant new take on the standard wintertime wardrobe.
Playing prettily against the pale blush pink and cream-colored hues are cuff-sleeved blouses are gorgeous tailored trousers in high-shine silver viscose cotton and 100% cotton fabrications.
Add in the abundance of floral inspiration and pops of optimistic blues and buttercup yellow and XTN gives a cheery facelift to even the drabbest pieces in your closet.
Founded in 2001 by designer Xuan-Thu Nguyen, XTN seamlessly combines modern silhouettes and shapes with delicate accents—many of which are hand-placed by the designer herself.
Inspired by trend yet deeply informed by a classic sensibility, the winter collection offers everything from casual cocktail length dresses, floor length gowns, layering jackets and blazers to pants and comfortable lifestyle blouses and tees.
Nguyen is an avid explorer of the qualities of different and how new shapes can contemporize old ideas. A marker of this interest is her frequent exploration of new color, fabric, and tailoring combinations.
Her winter collection shifts from body contouring striped cotton trousers to boxy-cut jackets in decadent cotton and leather combinations. Blazers with plunging V-necks provide sensual appeal while cap-sleeved blouses that fall loosely to the torso are ready for work or play.
Each piece is made unique by the designers’ penchant for handmade crafts. This is especially apparent in her painstakingly crafted floor length gowns.
Available in champagne and off white, each gown features hundreds of handmade and hand-placed roses and featheresque pieces of fine silk. Whether headed to a holiday party, red carpet event or a night on the town, any fashion lover will stand out in X-TN.
