The X section of the Apparel Search fashion company directory is the shortest in the alphabet: a single company, Xcel Brands, the New York brand-management and media company that owns Halston, Judith Ripka and C. Wonder and sells through livestream and social commerce.
Sorry, not so many companies start with the letter X. Yes, it is rather a rarity - that has been this page's honest summary for years, and it still holds: where most letters in this directory run to a dozen or more company profiles, X has exactly one. The letter's single entry is Xcel Brands, the New York City company founded by Robert W. D'Loren in 2011 with a vision to reimagine shopping, entertainment and social as one.
A one-company letter is not an empty one. Xcel is a publicly traded brand-management company - NASDAQ: XELB - whose work sits behind several familiar fashion names at once: it owns the Halston, Judith Ripka and C. Wonder brands outright, holds a minority interest in the Isaac Mizrahi brand, and manages Longaberger through a controlling interest in its licensing company. Its profile, linked below, carries a verified company snapshot, the company's official website, and the record of how its portfolio has changed since this directory first described it in 2018.
Use the letter bar to move through the full A-Z company index - every other letter offers a longer list - or open the single chip below to go straight to the Xcel Brands profile. Companies are added to this directory periodically, so a future X name would join this page; for now, Xcel Brands carries the letter on its own.
