THE "NIKIA" DRESS

Nikia Lane, the mother of the brand, covers the 2025 Couture Campaign beautifully wearing a Couture strapless dress consisting of a twill bengaline base that allows stretch to hug the body, accentuating silhouette whilst keeping its sturdiness. Silk Chiffon drapes along the sides of the hip lines and breast cups to the mid back, creating a sheer flow of lightweight movement.

The back of the dress illusions the main zipper to appear broken/opened, however with it still functioning to zip upward, whilst an invisible zipper is hidden beneath to secure the dress.

"The inspiration behind this dress is simply, yet intricately you as my mother. The rich black fabrics to match the wealth of your skin. That you have taught me to wear proudly. Black on Black creates Elegance and attracts light. The sheer accents on your hips to represent all those years I sat upon them, especially when I was in distress, learning to be transparent in my emotions. whilst still being able to control how much of my feelings to show. The silk chiffon draping of the breast to the back, signifying the first meals I ever digested. Holding me in your arms, feeding until your back was sore. Lastly, but most importantly, the broken and hidden zippers are illusions to represent all the times that felt like everything fell apart or was destroyed. All the moments that maybe we felt separated from each other. Yet, beneath all of the chaos, an invisible source holds us together. Without knowing that it is there, everything would not hold and eventually fall down. Our faith in the hidden zipper is what allows our bond to grow and continue moving up, just as how the broken zipper cannot move further down, but can only be zipped upwards. This is your dress mommy. This is the "Nikia Dress"."
