The urban cottage aesthetic, a visual conversation between elements of hip hop, travel, and crazy quilting, inspires the Nicacelly line.
Each one of a kind-limited edition garment is the physical manifestation of an international fabric journey. Fabrics are handpicked for each garment from underground graphic studios of San Francisco and New York to villages in Bali,Japan and Northern Thailand.
These raw materials collaborate, creating a very versatile woman's line that is both sneaker and stilleto friendly. The cuts are sexy but not naked, utilizing clean silhouettes with fine applique and trim detail.
