XCVI was founded in 1996—’XCVI’ represents the Roman numerals for ’96—from the back of a mom-and-pop clothing boutique on Melrose Avenue.

Along with designer Lilia Gorodnitski, the Zeltzer family manifested a shared vision of casual clothing that enriches life with joy, comfort, and ease.

OUR MISSION

We make clothes that feel as good as they look.
Casual, unique, and built to flatter, XCVI doesn’t chase trends or participate in fast fashion. We’re all about thoughtfully-created, long-lasting pieces that move and evolve with you. With intentional design and timeless ease, our clothes are made for comfort in real life.

For nearly 30 years, we’ve committed to creating wearable, breathable, and moveable clothing for women who believe style should never compromise comfort. No gimmicks. No stunts. Just high-quality, stylish pieces made for your everyday life.
Whether you’ve always had a flair for fashion or you’re just beginning to discover your personal style, your clothes are your self-expression. Since 1996, we’ve designed clothing that effortlessly complements your journey through any twists and turns life may bring-versatile, feel-good pieces you can truly live in.
XCVI is fashion you can live in
