Matievi

Nikolina (1979). Croatian designer, born in Dubrovnik. She studied at the University of Fashion Design. After studying in Atlanta for one year and in London for three, she returned to Dubrovnik, where she opened an atelier in 1999. Despite her youth, she has already gained a great deal of experience: in May 1999, immediately following her degree, she organized an exhibition of her designs in London, and that same year dressed the finalists in the Best Model in Croatia competition. This was followed by further exhibitions in Dubrovnik. Typical features of her designs are natural and unusual materials, creations inspired by the sea, sails, and the past mixed with the present.
