Who is Nigel Xavier?
Nigel is a fashion designer who moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 2010. He has spent most of his time in Summerhill. However, according to his profile on Farfetch, the rising designer revealed that Summerhill has opened so many doors for him that he would have never experienced if he didn't live there. He is a former high school football player who chose fashion over a career in sports. While gushing about the career change, he shared with Netflix Tudum, "adapting and observing all of the different cultures has made [him] versatile and open-minded." Apart from designing, Nigel also models, styles, and tailors looks for his own collections. He is mostly known for his denim designs and looks to rappers like A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and Travis Scott for inspiration. Nigel always focuses on the next creation and his own favorite design is an oversized pair of patchwork denim pants that can fit five to six people in them. The fashion designer gushed about his iconic design saying that the piece is "not only signature to [his] manipulation but also has a message behind them, symbolizing togetherness."
