Spring Into Joy

Lead DesignersNiki Srinivasa
Prize(s)Silver in Apparel Category / Runway Collections
Entry Description

This collection, which I showed at New York Fashion Week this September, is a collection very close to my heart; I was inspired and empowered to challenge conventional way of thinking about wearable clothing and truly sought out to pair unique, yet classic silhouettes with unexpected materials (i.e. my bell-sleeve leather jacket).

I truly wanted this collection to instill a sense of joy in the audience viewing it, and I wanted it to look and be very wearable, and already, I've had requests for my finale gown to be featured at the Grammy's and in an interview with Forbes!

Bio

The core of my brand is truly creating beautiful, classic, feminine and unique clothes that are made to fit every woman. To me, style should have no number, and that is the very center of my motivation and design vision. I was never an “average” size growing up, and not finding clothes like my peers got to wear was devastating for me; no one should ever feel ostracized for their body shape, and I am on a mission to positively impact the fashion industry and push it towards being more inclusive. Fashion is for everyone, and I dream of a day when we see better representation for people who come.

Awards and Prize

I was just selected as one of five designers in the world to show at Paris Fashion Week with Flying Solo.
