Nina Donis

Nina Donis, prêt-à-porter brand created and launched in 1992 by two designers from Moscow, Nina Neretina (1968) and Donis Poupis (1969). Donis, born in Cyprus, moved to Moscow in 1989, a year of monumental changes (the fall of the Berlin wall) and significant developments in the Soviet Union. He met Nina at the Textile Academy, which they both attended from 1987 to 1992.

Their style is influenced by European fashions, at that time by the English pop style of McQueen and Westwood. Their new collections, by now known and sold across the world and presented at London Fashion Week, continue to refer to the ideas that inspired them in the past, while always paying attention to the present.

The brand’s visibility is now also entrusted to the showroom opened in Milan at Studio Zeta. In 2008, the two designers took part in a collaboration with Swarovski for the “unbridaled” project, where 100 designers were involved in the creation of a wedding dress and accessories using the famous crystal.
