ABOUT THE BRAND

NMZ, a contemporary brand established in 2014, is dedicated to creating comfortable and dynamic designs for everyday wear, infused with a spontaneous and global spirit. Each collection seamlessly integrates a profound vision of fashion, enriched by its Latin roots. This fusion highlights the brand's deep artistic sensibility, reflected in its masterful use of color and the creation of timeless and versatile designs – a central focus. In the pursuit of quality, NMZ relies on local labor, with a team of professionals hailing from both Colombia and Venezuela, working collaboratively to deliver excellence to every customer. Based in Colombia, NMZ's presence extends to retail locations in Colombia, Spain, and Nicaragua, and the brand recently marked a milestone with an exclusive piece created for Anthropologie.

Latest Collection

VOLVER

As fashion continues to evolve, NMZ projects aesthetic consistency and inspires its environment with a commitment to quality, social responsibility, and sustainable initiatives. Its primary focus is creating multi-purpose garments to provide a slow fashion approach to practical elegance.
‘VOLVER’ is a reinterpretation of the brand’s signature collection hits. Floral prints, flat and knitted fabrics, and the geometric embroidery technique are some of the materials and textures that make up the vast repertoire of 23 references, in which the use of taffeta is explored for the first time. In this versatile and colorful delivery, femininity stands out in various dresses with draped sleeves, volumes, and necklines.
“This collection represents our history, revisiting and reinterpreting silhouettes, bringing together all the singularities that make us who we are. It was a process of intimate reflection and satisfaction that reflects our constant growth.”
- Natalia Mazzei Zubillaga.
