In order to really appreciate where Nina Loren will be going in the future, we have to take a step back and examine the past. Opening up the storefront was the first major project I helped Nina with. Taking what once was a tacky- two story space, into a one-story sophisticated boutique was a daunting task. Though, with the help of friends and family, the store morphed into the eloquently designed space it is today and opened its doors on August 13, 2010.
In early September, Nina Loren hit the runway at FNO (Fashion's Night Out) in the Eden Rock Hotel on South Beach. The show consisted of what is now the LUX line and was a complete success!
A little over a month later, we had the great fortune of being part of a runway show during Funkshion, a renowned Miami Fashion event. Denim of Virtue models strutted down the catwalk wearing the NL Fall 10' collection. Watch the show here (I suggest you turn off your sound!)
Amongst all this, Nina has been one of the key instigators of the local FAD walk. This monthly event brings together the businesses within the Byrd Road Art District and shoppers rejoice at sales and yummy food trucks!
For all her hard work and creative genius, Nina was recognized as one of Sobi Magazines 33 most creative minds in their Art Issue.
During the past few months Nina Loren has been taking its first steps down the road of success. We've been through the crawling and walking phases, now its full speed ahead! A few bumps along the way are always anticipated but every experience is one to learn from. With a team like ours and a determined mindset, the sky is the limit.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with great talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
