[@Abiolaxox] Brands on the block Episode 2 [@noemiewilson]

Welcome back to the Brands on the block. This week I had a sit-down  with the founder and designer of Noemie Wilson. With her puffer jackets being featured in music videos, her camo 2 piece being a staple outfit for spring/summer; Noemie is definitely ready to shut down the shows and change the conventional idea of fashion!

#Inspiredbytheworld

1. What is the inspiration behind your brand?

Noemie: I wanted to remix my idea of fashion. I want to cooperate art and fashion together.

The inspiration behind the name was, I wanted a french sounding name that incorporated me but not my actual real name. Noemie gave me a refreshing aspect to my brand, making it different and unique.

When I first released my first collection and everybody was feeling the pink puffer jacket, I was like hmmm, I can make more of this stuff because this is what enjoy making. So I created more velvet jackets, incorporated more colour and expanded my collection.

2. How would you describe your brand?

Noemie: The idea of being carefree and wanting to wear something that makes you feel extravagant! Everyone is into the mainstream fashion, my brand gives an alternative avenue to making a statement with your style.

3. What advice would you give people that want to start their own brand?

• Don’t watch what other people are doing – with the increase of social media you can easily find yourself copying others or comparing yourself to other people.
• Find alternatives, travel, look at different cultures – don’t be afraid to explore!
• Develop your own style!
• Talk to experienced people, young people, people from different cultures to expand your knowledge and ideas. when you learn more and you will do more!
• Work on your craft, produce the best version of you!

4. What should we expect from you next?

Noemie: Our spring/summer collection will be coming out, with this we will probably have a few shows and parties coming up. I don’t want to speak to much, but right now we want to build brand awareness and include our customers in every aspect of the brand.
