Co-founders Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey started RIXO in 2015 as a way "to evoke a wanderlust and free spirit in all our wearers, filling a gap in the contemporary market with easy-to-wear, feminine shapes, and high-quality materials," as noted on their website. Since the brand's inception, it has not only garnered an international cult following but has positively shaped the way people get dressed, regardless of age, race, gender identity, and nationality.
In 2021, RIXO released its inaugural bridal collection focusing on"individualism at its core." "Over the last [few] years of RIXO, we have been lucky enough to have so many brides, bridesmaids, and wedding guests choose our brand for their big day. This really inspired us to make a dedicated bridal collection," the brand exclusively tells Brides. "We have spent over a year perfecting the fabric and fit, and have spent a lot of time researching—visiting all of our favorite vintage stores, and discovering so many beautiful design elements that have the power to transcend time." Today, RIXO continues its journey towards promoting individualism with the launch of its second wedding line in 2022.
Even more, the brand also provides virtual one-on-one appointments with its own bridal specialists, in order to help brides choose the right dress for their nuptials. For additional information, take a look at both past and present collections below.
RIXO Collection 2
With the success of their first collection in 2021, both McCloskey and Rix felt that it was time to debut a batch of new dresses to expand their bridal offerings. But what makes this line different from the last?
“After launching our first bridal collection last year, we were brought so much joy from being such an important part of an incredibly special day, [and] we knew immediately that we wanted to continue with bridal," reveals the co-founders. "This new collection is split into more structured dress categories, to really help the bride in what she’s looking for—whether it’s the ceremony, registry, or party. We’ve taken learnings from our last collection and used them to better our offering in the hope of providing lots of choice for brides to be!”
