Xander Short

About: Xander Short is a fashion designer captivated by the world of antiquity and driven to expand the horizons of menswear through unconventional approaches. Designing free from the constraints of societal norms, he ventures across timelines—most notably to the Victorian era—in hopes of reviving lost techniques that he considers essential to true craft and couture. A quick-learning patternmaker, Xander also possesses strong skills in illustration, color analysis, and textural design. Committed to both originality and sustainability, he regularly repurposes secondhand fabrics, giving them renewed purpose and meaning. On top of this, Xander furthered his education and interests by pursuing minors in fashion merchandising and Spanish, as he remains curious about the world around him and stays grounded in his individuality. Communicative, open-minded, detail-oriented, and efficient, he is devoted to evolving into his highest self, guided by his core strengths.
