Nicole van Vuuren grew up designing and making garments using offcuts from the furniture factory her father worked in. After completing a bachelor of fashion at RMIT University in Melbourne, she set off to work at Eckhaus Latta in New York before returning to Aotearoa. Nicole’s passion for discarded textiles and the environment led to the establishment of her namesake label. Each unique piece is made exclusively by hand in Nicole’s Tāmaki Makaurau studio.

Nicole van Vuuren will show as part of the Viva Next Gen show.
