African luxury female wear line NN Vintage by Nhlanhla Nciza. Inspired by
vintage and the 60's – 80's era the brand over the years had done well. NN Vintage’s style is inspired by
fabrics that Nciza sees and collects during her travels.
"Our
look is modern, urban African … and since the inspiration is Africa, part of
the plan for NN Vintage is to take it all over the rest of the continent. "The clothing is a true reflection of the singer’s
style. It’s colourful, vibrant, African and unique – for the woman who’s not
afraid to steal the spotlight at any party or occasion and that’s exactly why
we love it. Some of her design are giving us wedding vibes.
