XLX.PROJECT

ABOUT THE BRAND

XLX PROJECT, is a sustainable, interdisciplinary, non binary fashion brand based in La Plata, Argentina.
Committed to the environment my designs are handmade in my small studio.
From the textile experimentation together with the alchemy of the materials, I generate exclusive and conceptual collections that lead us to question our relationship with nature and how we act before it.
In simple and organic ways, the impetus of the work is focused on the textile and what it generates. The manual and artisanal work results in unique pieces that take us to the summer on the banks of the River Platense: the first dip, the overwhelming heat of midday, the sound of the wind and the animals when the sun starts to go down. The smell of river, earth and grass.
The destiny of each collection is to encourage conscious consumption, inviting the viewer / consumer to take / buy only what is needed and if you do not need it anymore you can return it to my hands where it will be reinvented.
