ABOUT US

XYSTI MIAMI BEGAN WITH AN UNEXPECTED SPARK. WHILE STATIONED IN VICENZA, ITALY AS A U.S. ARMY OFFICER, "STEPHENMATTHEW” WISNIEW FOUND HIMSELF CAPTIVATED BY THE ELEGANCE OF ITALIAN FASHION AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN. AFTER LONG COMBAT PATROLS IN IRAQ, THE ONLY TV CHANNEL IN THE TACTICAL OPERATIONS CENTER PLAYED MODA ITALIA—RUNWAY SHOWS. HE POINTED TO THE SCREEN AND SAID TO HIS FELLOW OFFICERS, “I WILL CREATE THAT!”.

YEARS LATER, HIS DAUGHTER ASKED HIM FOR A HALLOWEEN COSTUME AND CONFIDENTLY TOLD HER FRIENDS, “MY DAD CAN MAKE ANYTHING.” THAT MOMENT CHANGED EVERYTHING. "STEPHENMATTHEW" BOUGHT A SEWING MACHINE, TAUGHT HIMSELF HOW TO CONSTRUCT GARMENTS, AND DISCOVERED A NEW FORM OF PURPOSE.

AFTER RETIRING FROM THE ARMY, SERVING AS A WHITE HOUSE
INNOVATION FELLOW, AND APPRENTICING UNDER FASHION DESIGNERS IN NEW YORK AND
SOUTH FLORIDA, HE FELT CALLED TO BUILD A BRAND OF HIS OWN—ONE THAT CELEBRATED THE STRENGTH, ELEGANCE, AND LEADERSHIP OF MODERN PROFESSIONAL WOMEN.

TODAY, XYSTI MIAMI IS HIS TRIBUTE TO THE WOMEN SHAPING THE FUTURE. EACH PIECE IS THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED WITH THE CHIC, CONFIDENT, AND SENSUAL ENERGY OF MIAMI—HANDCRAFTED FOR WOMEN WHO LEAD WITH WISDOM, STYLE, AND
COMMAND.
