POP-UP Highlights
On August 15, 2025, in Los Angeles, X-girl joined the XLARGE pop-up — a natural collaboration, since the two brands have been connected from the very beginning.
The event took place in a spacious Koreatown venue filled with artwork, including car doors painted by Kenny Scharf. Along the walls, posters told the story of the brands’ histories, featuring the founders, clothing labels from different eras, and playful moments. This room showcased the early days, lined with archive pieces from both brands — which drew plenty of attention, as fans naturally wanted to get their hands on them.
In the next room, guests discovered a special X-girl collection created just for the event. Titled the “Poster Collection,” it was hand screen-printed in Los Angeles and designed to feel raw and real — complete with intentional imperfections to emphasize its authenticity. Across the space, XLARGE legacy pieces were also on display.
The atmosphere was energetic, with a soundtrack ranging from girl-punk bands like Sonic Youth to dance favorites like Missing Persons. The walls were plastered with bold decals, and the space even featured a piano and foosball table. Guests gathered around a lively bar, where spam musubi was also on offer.
The party kicked off at 7 p.m., and the crowd showed up right on time — and stayed for hours. Some came to shop the new collection, others to admire the archives, hang with friends, or snap photos in the mirrored installation. What was planned as a set schedule ended up going two hours over — a sign of just how intentional and engaged the community felt.
One highlight of the night was when Steve Knezevich, one of X-girl’s original designers, arrived with his daughter. It was a full-circle moment that honored the brand’s beginnings while celebrating its future. Nostalgia flowed through the space, balanced with excitement for what’s ahead.
The pop-up will remain open until August 24, 2025. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s next from X-girl.
