Nigel Xavier
Call him the wizard of denim. Nigel is all about patchwork and textile manipulation — crafting one-of-a-kind creations that have become favorites among some of the biggest names in music. The Atlanta-based designer cites “fabrics, materials, culture and nostalgia” as his primary influences, as he puts his signature stamp on looks drawing heavily from the ’90s and early 2000s fashion. As a former high school football player who chose fashion over a career in sports, “adapting and observing all of the different cultures has made [him] versatile and open minded.” While he’s always focused on the next creation, the garment the designer is most proud of is an oversized pair of patchwork denim pants that can fit five to six people in them. The piece is “not only signature to [his] manipulation, but also has a message behind them, symbolizing togetherness.”
