Fashion Showcase A fashion label for young people by young people.

Nikita Creative Director
I was born in Zimbabwe and learned to express myself and embrace my creativity. I used to watch my grandmother mending and altering old clothes for re-sale. This has been my inspiration. My goal is to become a professional Costume Designer.
