Yara Flinn is the designer behind the New York-based fashion line Nomia, which launched its first collection in 2007. The Nomia brand strives to make their buyer feel strong, sophisticated and empowered in the womenswear line.
At this presentation in the Lincoln Center, we were led into a close-knit space with a small runway. Standing room only, we watched the models file into the room individually. Once 3 girls were on the runway, they’d turn around and walk behind stage in time for the new set of girls to come out with more to present.
Key trends in Nomia’s line were strong geometric color-blocking with feminine details. Fur necklines and vests appeared from behind stage. She kept the color palette at neutral colors with bold pops of color (think neon pink, bright blues) to offset the natural look. Yara Flinn came up with an incredibly sophisticated and masculine womenswear. See the video for the full presentation!
