X-girl was founded by 1994 by Kim Gordon and stylist Daisy von Furth. X-Girl was originally based in US from 1993 - 1998, and was later sold to Japanese company B's International and has been based in Japan since then. While XLARGE focuses on men's streetwear, its sister brand X-girl focuses on women's streetwear.
