LXÈ‎: an Australian label to watch. Read on to find out why!

Wearing: ‘Dona Ana’ Culottes; ‘Causeway’ Leather Pants; ‘Wooldridge’ Leather Jacket – all LXE

As profound as ponderings in idle Facebook chats on work time can be, mine of late have been on the existential state of the Australian fashion industry; on how, despite many highly successful exports to the world stage, its tradition is one of risk aversion and rolling with pop culture tides (to where the profits are). It is therefore a sigh-worthy observation, that the throng of Australian fashion labels simply cycle through social media validated product archetypes. For the glass-half-full-er’s, this may be the ideal environment for standing out. And eager hearts like that of yours truly is ready and willing to be courted: by the new and unexpected, that (ideally) first offends conditioned tastes, and shortly thereafter engenders true obsession.

One Australian label that I’ve fallen in love with this year is LXÈ – one look at their new smoldering campaign shoot, you will too. In its first year on the scene, LXÈ‎ has floated the line of fitting in. Its modus operandi is mastering the classics while innovating in fabric and construction. Case in point: their inspired green leather jacket, elevated by meticulous rib detailing which gives it its sculpted form; the riff on a classic split culotte that hits the spot of androgynous cool; the most flattering leather pant that is relaxed and fitted in all the right places.
