XCVI brings relaxed chic to the forefront of the fashion world by providing luxurious, interchangeable cotton outfits. It was in 1996 (or XCVI, in roman numerals) that Gita Zeltzer joined with her son and her husband to introduce the first season of XCVI clothing. Gita, together with designer Lilia Gorodonitski, manifested a shared vision for XCVI: to develop wearable, movable, breathable clothing for women who believe in style, but also believe in comfort. XCVI delivers chic separates that are an absolute dream to wear. For the chic woman who values comfort, choose the Odin & Ivy Josie Crop Pant. Super-soft cotton modal crop sports a mid rise and relaxed leg with stylish ruchng that starts at the knee seams and extends to the hem. If you prefer a longer pant, unwind in style with the Odin & Ivy Josie Lace Pant. Both styles are from the Odin & Ivy collection. Odin & Ivy is a women's knit-based playwear line that incorporates all the great trends happening in the marketplace today with that comfy, cozy feel we all love. Odin & Ivy is manufactured by the people that deliver XCVI, so you know it will be the same great fit, quality, and everyday wearable silhouettes that fit our busy lifestyles.
