While the bar
handed out free drinks to the inebriated crowd,
Lime Crime’s models strutted their stuff
to the sounds of flashbulbs and 80’s tunes.
Flirty, fun and melodramatic, this was a superb
first showing for a promising young designer.

Highly
influenced by the dark fantasy of filmmaker Tim
Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
and garnering much deserved comparison to the
work of Betsy Johnson, Xenia mixes punk prints
with a girlie flair. Stripes, polkadots and checkerboxes
are the theme of her recent work, and with skulls
patches and stylized graphics spicing up the sharp
duds, the result is stunning. The color scheme
included Xenia’s signature lime along with
bold pinks, yellows and reds. The fit was tight
and short; most of her skirts measured a mere
11 inches from hip to tip and were highlighted
by vivid thigh-high striped stockings. |
