FASHION
Elements
A coastal dreamscape reimagined in cotton satin and crepe de chine. Nicole’s prints are steeped in symbolism — the delicate Taita White Eye bird, the soft shape of the madafu, and the sweeping lines of Swahili architecture.The colour palette dances between coral, ivory, and the deep blues of the Indian Ocean. Each piece is designed with the curvy woman in mind: structured yet soft, bold yet wearable. With gathering techniques, drawstring play, and signature bust shaping, Urembo wa Pwani is a masterclass in thoughtful construction.#VoteNicoleTikolo #Vote62 #FashanneAwards #CoastalBeauty
