Modegeschiedenis
Founded in 1994 by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Daisy von Furth, X-girl emerged as a female counterpart to the brand X-Large. It gained prominence through a guerrilla-style fashion show in SoHo, produced by Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola. The brand played a pivotal role in the 1990s cool Japan movement and the global rise of streetwear. It remains a significant historical marker for the intersection of alternative music and independent fashion.
