Last night team FADED along with URBAN CUT MAGAZINE got to preview the AXANTHIC Collection, and it was truly an experience. Prior to the show you could networking, many were thankful for the on site selfie machine, AXE & HATCHET gave hair cuts and shaves. Their was a media room so bloggers and influencer's could share and up date their experience to social platforms.

Xian, an avid fan of reptiles, was inspired by the beauty of their skins. Xian said the meaning of the word ‘Axanthic’ “is a color mutation in snakes, lacking red and yellow colors, so the animal looks black, grey, and white.” Xian’s designs use the play on words highlighted in his pronunciation of the word: “‘accent-tic’, the accent being the white letterings, and because everything is black, the white letter accent made this whole collection different.” Never one to shy away from textiles, Xian also uses fabrics that imitate ‘scales’ to pull the aesthetic together with his inspiration: his pet snakes Udon, Thread, and Noodle.
