Nina is a free spirit. That is the main characteristic of the design that became known as unique. Her designs are made from zippers combined with other materials. They are conceptual, functional and with high aesthetic note. Speaking for themselves, the designs are recalling stories for small moments in time, under the main excuse “Just Because.”
