with Stylist
Dani Nichole
WHO is Dani
Nichole?
Dani
Nichole is a southern girl with city dreams, born and raised in Memphis, TN she
moved to New York 3 years ago to purse fashion and attend the Fashion Institute
of Technology.
What is your
biggest inspiration/ where do you get your inspiration from?
Everything
around me is inspiration, I would have to say my biggest inspiration is my
family and where I came from, people were not taking chances and putting it all
on the line to fulfill their dreams I wanted to be different I needed to grow
and so did my creativity and that was my biggest inspiration leaving and making
a way out of no way. I get my
inspiration on the train, walking down the street, eating, and even sleeping.
Its all around it comes naturally.
Who is your
favorite designer(s) and why?
My
favorite designer is Tom Ford. I just love him & his style he understands a
woman’s silhouette he always gets it right his garments look rich, high-end,
and sharp. He’s also not afraid to take chances and be innovative.
What do you think
is your strengths and weaknesses in the art of fashion?
My
strengths are that I breathe fashion and not just the “fun part” I understand
garment construction and I can make and type of garment. My weakness is that I
am too hard on myself and I’m a perfectionist I don’t know when to walk away.
(Lol)
How are your
clothes different from the other designer?
My
garments are different because they come from my heart I sketch everything then
I drape then I sew and my garments don’t look “Home Made” and I don’t take the
easy way out by only using fabrics that stretch or spandex you will always see
zippers, darts, seams, etc.
What is your
favorite season for fashion?
My
favorite season is fall you can do so much! Your layers look, leggings, boots,
and cable knit sweater etc! (I get excited just thinking about it! lol)
What makes your design different? What is unusual?
What
makes my designs different are zippers! I love zippers you will always see
something conventional on my work and I also love sweetheart neckline that
has also become my signature.
What is
the best perk in being a designer?
Best perk
is if you have nothing to wear you can sew it, if you have no money for clothes
you can sew it, if you see a garment in the store and you don’t want to buy it
you can sew it.
What
trends do you see being big for 2013?
Trends
for 2013 lots of leather and lace bold colors and prints which I love!
What one
piece of advice would you give to someone wanting to start a career in fashion?
INTERN!
INTERN! INTERN! This is very important the experience is worth more than the
money get the knowledge, get the connects, and also KNOW YOUR FABRICS!
