Back to Our Roots

Back to Our Roots

At XCVI, we’re all about honoring our roots while continuing to evolve all the same. As we steer clear of fast fashion and trends, we often reference back to and revisit pieces from our earlier years.

Original designs have stood the test of time, maintaining coastal, bohemian, and tactical influence in a style that is uniquely ours—just as relevant today as it was when we launched in 1996.

Back in 2005, Lucky Magazine featured an XCVI Brio Poplin wide-leg crop in a spread of Summer outfit ideas. As it turns out, timeless, truly classic pieces never go out of style. Twenty years later, we’re leaning into our roots as much as ever with another exaggerated pocket Brio Poplin crop.

This season’s Muldoon Crop features the signature pockets you know and love, along with XCVI ruching on the front leg with a cinchable corded drawstring. Decades may pass, but a comfortable, lightweight, practical, versatile, and effortlessly stylish crop stays ready for Summer, always!

We love looking back at old photoshoots, styling moments, and designs. While we’re ever-evolving and growing artistically as a brand and as a business, the timeless-yet-edgy clothing we create has consistently stood the test of time, with just about every design finding its place in nearly three decades of fashion.

We’re just as excited today as we were back then to see our Brio Poplin wide leg featured in print, and even more thrilled to harken back to a beloved style with this season’s Muldoon Crop.

Forever flattering and easy to wear and care for, Muldoon is a true staple. Muldoon represents everything XCVI aims to create in each and every garment: clothes that move, breathe, live, and last with you. It’s a lovely reminder that the more things change, the more they stay the same—in the best way possible!

We make plenty of space for change while holding tight to the principles and creative roots that define us and have guided us all this time. This balance has allowed us to keep constructing the joyful, wearable styles that make up your everyday wardrobe.

Whether you’ve been with us since the 90s, joined in the 2000s, or are just discovering us now, a Brio Poplin wide-leg crop represents and captures who we are perfectly.

Wearing what you love never goes out of style, and this season, the Muldoon Crop emphasizes and brings that to life all over again.
