Description
Welcome to The Residency in The Box Studio, SheerLuxe’s series with John Lewis. In episode four, Billie is joined by RIXO founders Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey to talk about their collaboration with John Lewis and the vintage inspiration behind the collection.
From how the partnership came together to the care that goes into getting the fit just right, Henrietta and Orlagh share what makes the collection feel true to RIXO. The 44 pieces bring together vintage-inspired prints, partywear and versatile wardrobe staples, with styles designed to work across occasions and generations.
Then it’s time for a show and tell. Billie, Henrietta and Orlagh look at the dresses, tuxedo jackets, skirts, bags and accessories they’re most excited about, and explain how to style them for everything from work to parties. Plus, the founders share a preview of what’s coming for spring/summer 2027 and talk us through what they’re wearing.
