Nigel Xavier x Rent The Runway Includes Next In Fashion Winner’s Signature Patchwork

On Friday, Xavier launched his collaboration with Rent the Runway, releasing a lineup of tie-dye and patchwork denim separates from upcycled textiles that bring his ‘90s-heavy aesthetic into spring 2023: “I had always wanted to experiment with tie-dye,” he says. “I’m very inspired by materials, prints, and colors.” Although Xavier entered Next In Fashion as a menswear designer, he incorporated womenswear — a tip from hosts Gigi Hadid and Tan France throughout the competition — in the form of mini and maxi skirts, cropped jackets, and denim bralettes. His signature patchwork is present, too, in pieces like low-rise jeans.
