In the 1990’s, Nikki was the
designer and proprietor of ‘ecobaby’ an environmentally friendly babies and children’s clothing business
in her native hometown Sydney, Australia. A love affair with the ocean led Nikki to pursue a career in marine biology and
her Bachelor of Science degree and a scholarship opportunity brought Nikki to US shores. Working in coral reef conservation,
Nikki juggled the dichotomy between science and fashion; ultimately her creativity lured her back to the fashion world.
Nikki
is now based in Delray Beach, Florida. Since creating her 'nikki poulos' label in 2008, she has built up a loyal following
with her clientele and in the press. The collections have been featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Elle, Lucky
and Fitness magazines, and the European version of the hit show Next Top Model. The line is available across the US most notably
in Anthropologie, and can be found across Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Australia.
The biggest news this year is that
Nikki will be appearing on the new NBC Fashion Star show premiering March 13th 2012.
Both her collections ‘nikki
poulos’ and ‘nikki poulos swim’ reflect Nikki’s
love of vintage inspired styles, sassy prints and bold colors. A fascination with old Hollywood glamour
and the icons of fashion, film and art, coupled with her love of the great outdoors, inspires and influences her styling to
create a line that represents the epitome of modern boho chic.
Nikki believes firmly in supporting her local
economy, therefore all her pieces are proudly produced in the US.
Wearing one of Nikki’s
pieces demonstrates you love for and appreciation of beauty, for every piece is fresh, innovative yet effortless, and distinctly
