DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DESIGNERS    As per every email, I'm going to get straight to the point. All designers do not come the same. I'm going to break down the different types of "designers" and how their clothing lines work. The Creative Director: The person is a creative. They can imagine a clothing line, a feeling, and a world. They might even be able to sketch. They hand a sketch and a purpose over to the head of the production team. Manufacturer makes it happen. The Logo Slapper: This person does not do any garment design. They pick a garment, (t-shirt, sweatshirt, tank, etc.),  out...

SEASONAL LAYERING   As I start my new collection, Winter 2020, I wanted to explain my seasonal layering, or how I do it, in Chicago.   First off you should know I'm not doing seasons or collections traditionally. Covid-19 kind of lit seasons on fire they say, but I think most designers will go back to tradition.I want to do it differently, partially because I think it works for me, partially because I want things to get launched as season is approaching/here, partially because who cares?Fall jackets!

Design with me!  Let me make this short and sweet. The collections I drop are my "classic collections". I created a "block" for you. What does that mean and why do you care? A block is a standard garment pattern I made for that garment. Which means you can work with me to change the pattern or the fabric. Take the joggers above for an example. You can love and buy that as is: thicker for fall, color blocked in neutrals and navy.  OR you can change the weight, color, or style of the joggers. Like this.    You don't have to pay extra, or...

A better way to get NICZKA.  Let's be honest, shipping costs are the pin prick of online shopping. Pun intended. NICZKA has now added new cheaper shipping options, and added local delivery for even less. On top of that, I want you to take 15% off again using the code FAM15.Now, are you worried about sizing? I have a sizing chart link at the bottom of every page on my website.Don't have a measuring tape? Don't have the time? You just don't want to? WE GET IT.
