| naki muli | Owner + designer Tennille McMillan established NAKIMULI in late 2009. Growing up in Brooklyn, Tennille always stood out as "the weird one" with her unique style of dress. She used that to her advantage and began teaching herself how to sew after graduating from high school at age 16. Tennille developed her skills by making clothes for family members and costumes for fellow dance students at Hunter College. After graduating with a BA in dance, Tennille decided to pursue fashion instead of dancing professionally. That is when NAKIMULI began to take shape. In 2012, Tennille began working with Erykah Badu, and still creates items for her. NAKIMULI has also been worn by Eva Marcille, Jill Scott, Danielle Brooks (Orange Is The New Black), Jazmine Sullivan, and Merrill of TuneYards. Tennille still designs NAKIMULI in her hometown of Brooklyn, NY. | clothing, swim wear |
| nubian skin | Empowering Women, Embracing our Color "My nude isn’t the nude I see in shops. Despite the reality that women of color have the same needs as all women when it comes to lingerie and hosiery, the industry simply doesn’t cater to us." A nude bra and skin tone hosiery are the basics of every woman’s wardrobe, at least in theory. For many women of color, finding suitable skin-tone hosiery and lingerie has not been an option. Frustrated by the lack of skin-tone choices to go with her ever-expanding wardrobe, Nubian Skin founder, Ade Hassan, decided it was time for ‘a different kind of nude’. Nubian Skin launched with a carefully edited collection of lingerie and hosiery to provide the essential underwear needs of Women of color. Headquartered in London, Nubian Skin delivers worldwide and looks forward to growing the company’s offering and expanding its reach. |

| tracy chambers vintage | TracyChambers Vintage is a lifestyle brand named after Diana Ross's character in Mahogany, one of the most iconic fashion movies of all time. The brand, founded by Helen Nurse, embodies the spirit of perseverance and empowerment just like the character in the film and was born out of the love for classic timeless style and the gathering of women. We began as TracyChambers Vintage selling vintage dresses but over the years we have grown to be so much more than that. We tell stories through clothing and are in the business of gathering women…making them look and feel good. We love connecting women so much that we have created a space to serve you more. I hope you join us on this journey as we continue to bring you impeccably curated style and create intimate gatherings with you in mind. Step into our world and you have entered a ladies only zone (LOZ) where we talk style, womanness, and being our badass selves. We don’t host events, we create experiences and an atmosphere where women gather and support one another. Have a sip of spirits and a bite of love. Bring a few girlfriends and enjoy. |
