RIXORixo Lacie lace-trimmed velvet minidress

RIXO is a London-based fashion brand founded in 2015 by best friends Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey, who launched the label from their university living room after meeting while studying Fashion Management at London College of Fashion. The duo identified a gap in the contemporary market for beautiful, feminine silk printed dresses that weren't prohibitively expensive, creating vintage-inspired pieces that bridge the gap between accessible fashion and luxury aesthetics. Known as a "print powerhouse," RIXO specializes in hand-painted prints and vintage-inspired silhouettes reminiscent of the 1960s and 70s, crafted primarily from high-quality silk and designed to flatter women of all ages. The brand has achieved cult status among fashion enthusiasts, celebrities, and even royalty—with the Princess of Wales being a notable fan. RIXO's success lies in their ability to create timeless, wearable pieces that combine vintage charm with modern sensibility, making luxury-feeling fashion accessible to contemporary women.
