We chat a bit about her eponymous clothing brand, X.TINA, which features a designer collection of sleek, minimal silhouettes entwined with batik. Launched in Abu Dhabi about a year ago, it now retails online and is available in Sri Lanka. And the best part? A percentage of the profits go to the Maharagama Cancer Hospital.
