It was in ‘96 (or XCVI, in roman numerals) that the first XCVI line was started from the back of a storefront on Melrose Ave. The clothing resonated with so many people and had tremendous success. The vision was born: to develop wearable, breathable, moveable clothing for women who believe in style, but also comfort. XCVI stays rooted in the notion that fashion is first and foremost about people. Today, XCVI is still family run.
