X-GIRL SHOW

A book by Angela Hill.

The new IDEA book is X-GIRL SHOW by Angela Hill. A series of photographs shot on film in 1994 that document the now infamous moment in New York City when Daisy von Furth, Kim Gordon and Sofia Coppola staged the first show for their new X-GIRL label on the street in Manhattan.

Angela wasn't hired to shoot the show, she just shot it. Angela never made prints and the negatives from that day moved around flats and houses and would have been considered lost if anyone was looking for them. Angela found them again in 2024. They were stuck to their packets, damaged, the colours somewhat muted - we think you will love them!

Angela may have forgotten about the prints, but not about that time in NYC - 

"It was my first time in New York. I was with my flat mate and we were publishing a magazine together back in London so we did this trip as research, linking up with NY artists and creatives. We went to great loft parties with John Currin and Rachel Feinstein, another with Bernadette Corporation's Bernadette Van Huy (the most stylish person I ever met). We went to the Jeffrey Deitch gallery too and got very drunk with Anthony Haden Guest one night; saw the amazing Richard Avedon EVIDENCE show at the Whitney. At the time, the A, B, C streets were still a dangerous place to go. We went to an underground club there one night; no drinks so everyone brought huge vats of cider in from the local mart that kept all the booze and fags behind wire cages...'

X-girl, co-founded by Kim Gordon and Daisy von Furth in 1994, is a fashion brand known for its "real clothing" inspired by rock, military, outdoor, and street cultures. It's considered a pioneer of the "Girl's Movement" in fashion, emphasizing designs that appeal to women based on their actual preferences and incorporating elements from art and music.
