Who won Next in Fashion Season 2?

Who won Next in Fashion Season 2? We discuss the winner of the Netflix competition and will contain spoilers of the elimination order.

Next in Fashion is the Netflix reality fashion competition, which is hosted by fashion designer Tan France and supermodel Gigi Hadid. It features up-and-coming fashion designers to impress expert judges, hoping to win a $200,000 prize, but more importantly, the chance to become the next thing in fashion.

Next in Fashion Season 2 sees contestants take on a variety of challenges, with themes including royalty, thrift, swimwear, and childhood. Though a review of the show by Ready Steady Cut says that while it’s inoffensive and has a supportive atmosphere, it’s likely to send audiences to sleep unless they are passionate about fashion.

With the second season now drawn to a close, only one important question remains. Who won? That’s what this article will be addressing.

Who won Next in Fashion Season 2?

The Next in Fashion season two winner is the Atlanta-based designer Nigel Xavier. The season’s finale made him make eight specific looks as part of a cohesive collection. He got several days to do this and got help from a few team members with sewing and pulling the looks together.

The other Next in Fashion season two finalists were Deontré Hancock from Washington DC and Bao Tranchi from Los Angeles in California. Their work was impressive, but in the end, the judges chose Nigel Xavier. He’s demonstrated his talent again and again throughout the season.

What does Nigel Xavier do for a living?

Nigel Xavier works as a fashion designer in Georgia. In an interview with Netflix, he said his work is inspired by “fabrics, materials, culture, and nostalgia.” His specialism is in denim clothing, drawing heavily from the 90s-2000s fashion.
