Mexx is an international fashion company that designs clothes and accessories for men, women and children.
History
In the 1970s, fashion designer Rattan Chadha and his business partners PK Sen Sharma, Adu Advaney, Suveer Arora, Ronny Lemmens, Horatio Ho and Arun Mehta (known as the Founders of the company) supplied clothes for department and wholesale stores in the Netherlands, which were specifically designed and labelled for the stores. Revamping the business in 1980, they created two popular clothing brands - "Moustache" for men and "Emanuelle" for women. Both labels had coordinated collections focused on lifestyle and youth fashion. In 1986 the two brand names were merged to form: M (from Moustache) + E (from Emanuelle) + XX (an abbreviation for "kiss kiss") to create MEXX.[2]
Here is word play also: in many Slavic languages (Russian etc.) using Cyrillic alphabet the name MEXX in Latin looks exactly like "МЕХ" in Cyrillic (pronounsed as "mekh", meaning "fur") with doubled last letter.
Over time, Mexx has grown to become an international brand with over 800 stores in 55 countries and more than 10,000 point of sales. It has grown rapidly and is now an internationally prominent company, employing over 6,000 people worldwide.[3][2]
In 2001, Mexx was bought by the U.S. fashion company Liz Claiborne for $264 million and an Earn out which amounted to another $275 Million.[4] Thus, for many years it belonged to the Liz Claiborne group - a multi-brand business listed on the New York stock exchange that markets fashion, design, accessories and perfume internationally. [5] In 2011, Liz Claiborne, as part of a restructuring, sold Mexx to private equity firm The Gores Group at a loss but retained a minority interest in the Mexx chain of stores.[6]

Mexx does not just offer contemporary fashion but also diverse lifestyle products. Besides Mexx fashion for men, women and children, Mexx products range from shoes to accessories, such as bags and scarves, to fragrances, glasses, carpets and bed linen.[7]
