Nadia Thomas-Winter and her niece Natalya Thomas will launch their clothing line, ‘Fashion into the Night’ on December 30 at the Ramada Princess International Hotel in Providence.
It is hinted that the event will be Red Carpet style with runway fashion, wine tasting and art viewing.
The aunt and niece will donate some of the proceeds from their Guyana premiere event to the Cancer Institute in its fight against cervical cancer. The two have lost family members to the cancer so it is personal to them.
Nadia is inspired by the everyday woman. She strives to bring the everyday woman’s eclectic characteristics and natural beauty to light through art and fashion. She ensures her designs flatter the woman’s body and uses her innate creative abilities to produce stylish and wearable clothing, which empowers any everyday woman to be confident.
Nadia graduated from the ER Burrowes School of Art as Best Textile student and went on to the University of Guyana graduating with BA in Fine Arts. Nadia currently heads the Visual Arts Department of a high school in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) where she lives. She is also a freelance artist and designer, who has been designing for more than a decade. She designed a wide range of spectacular costumes for the Mashramani celebrations, BVI’s carnival and showcased striking pieces to high praise at numerous Caribbean fashion events. Her aesthetic is modern classic meets trendy and she caters for all women.
Natalya is currently a Public Relation Officer and ambitious fashion designer who wants to elegantly dress women. Her clothing line is not just inspired by different cultures, but also an exotic expression of unique experiences, timelessness, genuine individuality and adventure.
She said in a release, “I love designing wearable clothing for my clients. My target market fits all silhouettes. I believe that all body types are beautiful and I am tasked with the duty to help you the clients stand out in a phenomenal way.”
In 2012 she won the Model Search and Designer Portfolio competition. She was then exposed to the public where through television shows and ads. “I love my country… I believe that we have great potential in the creative arts industry…,” she says.
