Rixo<\/a><\/span> took to London Fashion Week on Monday, presenting the AW23 collection entitled 'Goddess of the Nile'. The event, which took place at London's St Pancras Hotel, saw the womenswear business take a new direction and offer a catwalk-presentation hybrid to members of the press.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hot off the heels of LFW, Rixo's Co-founder Henrietta Rix tells TheIndustry.fashion about the new collection, its design inspiration, the change in LFW show format, and future plans for the business.<\/p>\n

How would you describe the new collection? It\u2019s described as \u2018Goddess of the Nile\u2019, but what does that mean or reference?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Goddess of The Nile is a reference to the Ancient Egyptian influences that run throughout the collection. Orlagh is a massive Art-Deco fan and alongside our design team did extensive research onto the different techniques, materials (everything from metal to ceramics) and styles of ancient Egyptian times. The collection itself is really elevated and glamorous, hence \u2018Goddess\u2019!<\/p>\n

Is there a particular source of inspiration for the cuts or prints this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rixo is always inspired by vintage and the shapes in this collection have lots of 80s glam references (and of course inspired our muse, Kate Moss). There are a few key print stories that make up the collection but one that really stands out is \u2018Topaz Dream\u2019, a Rixo take on ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics hand-painted by Orlagh. There\u2019s also a gorgeous woodblock print \u2018Klimpt Stamp\u2019, inspired by a vintage jewellery box sourced in Portobello Market, which is one of my favourite prints in the collection.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
