Nadia’s love for fashion began at a young age. “I used to sketch designs and create my clothes in elementary school,” she recalls. This early interest in fashion was more than just a hobby; it was a calling. Her unique style caught the eyes of her friends, who frequently sought her advice on their wardrobe. In school, she joined various fashion-specific organizations, putting her passion and skills to the test. “In 2023, I finally decided to take it seriously and make it a small business,” Nadia shares, marking the beginning of her professional journey.

Every stylist has their icons, and for Nadia, the list includes some heavyweights. “The late Braxton (dykebrax), Kelsey Ashley, and J Bolin are some of my biggest fashion inspirations,” she says. These names are known for their distinct and bold styles, traits that are evident in Nadia’s work. When it comes to transforming a simple outfit into a statement look, Nadia’s strategy is clear: layering and accessorizing. “I’m a big fan of layering clothing,” she explains. “For example, if you have a simple baby tee and jeans, you can always add a stylish jacket, collared shirt, or even a corset to make it different.” Accessories also play a crucial role in her styling process, breathing life into the most basic ensembles.

“I thought about the type of music the artists create and tried to match the looks to the music!”

In the evolving landscape of concert culture, many artists are encouraging fans to dress according to specific themes. Nadia sees this trend as a positive development. “I love it! A lot of times, people don’t know what to wear to concerts. A central theme that’s not too hard to participate in can help make finding an outfit less stressful and more fun.” She believes that fans often understand the type of looks that complement their favorite artist’s music, and these themes help streamline their choices. When designing looks for concerts, Nadia draws inspiration from the music itself. “I honestly just thought about what I would like to see and went from there,” she says. By aligning her outfits with the artist’s musical style, she creates looks that enhance the concert experience.  

When asked to name the best-dressed individuals in music, it was no easy task! Nonetheless, Nadia has her favorites. “Teyana Taylor, even though she’s not actively creating music right now, Key Glock, and Tyla are all on my list.” These artists, known for their distinct fashion statements, resonate with Nadia’s style sensibilities. When asked about her dream clients, Nadia’s enthusiasm is palpable. “To name a few, Teyana Taylor, CoCo Jones, and Key Glock,” she lists. 

Styling these individuals would be a dream come true, allowing her to bring her unique vision to some of the most stylish figures in the industry. Nadia’s journey from a young fashion enthusiast to a budding professional stylist is a testament to her talent and dedication. With her keen eye for detail and a passion for creating stunning looks, she is set to make a significant impact on the fashion world. Keep an eye out for Nadia, as she continues to rise and redefine style one outfit at a time.
