Lime Crime was created by the Russian-born designer Xenia Vorotova. Miss Xenia or Limey as she’s referred to by her fans starting designing DIY fashion late 2002 calling her designs fashion for “Little Big Girls” which consisted of Lolita-like dresses paired with petticoats and mary janes. It was indeed a style for girls of all ages who wanted that porcelain doll look. She then took her designs in a different direction with bright colors, wild prints, and witchy poo stripes coordinated with wild makeup that the lovely Xenia thoughtfully produced free tutorials for. In the spring of ’06 she then chose another style she lovingly referred to as “A Little Bit Country for the Urban Girl” which was inspired by her love of vintage & Japanese street fashion. The look could only be described as comfortably chic with its array of feminine babydolls, ruffled tops and dresses. Ever changing like the chameleon she is Miss Limey has once again taking another direction with her designs this time turning to haute couture, Her new line (which is to be launched in the fall) consists of short, short (think Twiggy/60s Mod inspired) dresses accessorized with adorable lacey tights and chunky heel patent leather shoes. There’s no doubt about it this girl has style and talent, having been featured in several publications and fashion websites including MF Magazine and Bust Magazine Xenia is loved around the world from North America to Japan and everywhere in between for her superior sense of fashion.
