The launch of NINI O. COLLECTION is an addition to Nini's LIFESTYLE expression Since she opened her doors 6 years ago at Tay Home Nini has successfully combined her signature artisanal teas with fresh, local organic, vegetarian food, unique interior decoration, exquisite global gifts and now a fashion line that reflects her spirit. in her own words:
"For as long as i remember, FASHION ( the fresh , empowering , authentic kind) has always interested me . I've avoided trends like a plague . ditto for designer labels. What interests me most in fashion is self expression. fashion used as a mood and spirit compass rather than as a status symbol . Fashion used as a powerful way to share your story
Here's mine...
I love the nomadic , the colorful , the wild . The exotic fashion of women who live in far away lands like India, Bhutan , Cambodia, Nepal , the tribal women of my own country Iran ( the Ghashghais, Lors, Bakhtiaris ) I'm inspired by these hard working women who live in soft, fluid colorful clothes that are beautiful , functional and feminine. Their playful patterns are eye catching and spirit lifting .
i say
good bye black - HELLO COLOR!
good bye uptight, drab , uncomfortable threads - HELLO fluid, gypsy -inspired happy clothes! "
Nini Ordoubadi
The look of the NINI O. COLLECTION is simple and sophisticated at the same time. It's all about layering one piece on top of another. When worn together these designs elongate a woman's natural form and make her stand out in a crowd.
