Xantha Ward began her career as a single mom with a dream of becoming a fashion designer. Her first creations, presented over two decades ago, were one-of-a-kind funky denim skirts, hats, and bags. Since that time Xantha has been rocking Columbus with her cutting edge clothing designs for women of all ages and sizes.

Xantha’s models range in age from 20-something to over 60, and sizes range from 0 to women’s plus, so there are pieces to complement every woman, every age, every size and every fashion attitude.

Xantha showcases her designs exclusively twice a year, with fashion shows in the spring and fall. Her upcoming fall show, on October 11, 2009, “License to Rip the Runway” will showcase her funky-but-elegant one-of-a-kind ensembles, hats, jackets, big bold jewelry, and art work, as well as her trademark jaw dropping leather and fur studded purses and bags.

If you’ve never attended one of Xantha’s fashion shows, you’re in for an evening of entertainment that will be the highlight of your “Ladies Night Out”. Her shows deliver bumping music, excellent choreography, and this year it’s all about “covert operations” with a “secret agent” theme. Xantha will also include a showing of fall and winter fashions by local retail stores, Deb, and for full figured women, Ashley Stewart. Live entertainment will include selections by local vocalist, Sabrina Tutstone
