x-girl

Chloe Sevigny

In 1994, Kim Gordon started a clothing label called x-girl. Girls were sick to death of overblown, high maintenance '80s fashion, but they still wanted to look cute. Kim and her team of designers created a line for young women that was influenced by boys streetwear and skatewear. Just like the music Kim made with her band Sonic Youth, the short-lived x-girl was a fine alternative.

Despite its popularity, x-girl was eventually sold to a Japanese corporation. The line continues to be manufactured in Japan along with a fashion magazine. x-girl is highly collectible, and items on eBay usually sell out rapidly.

Kim Gordon recently started another clothing line called Mirror/Dash. Unfortunately, it is no longer available.
