MEET THE DESIGNER: Nikki DeMoneris
By Greg Wang
NEW YORK—A graduate of Parsons School of Design, 22-year-old Nikki DeMoneris took home the prize for “Best in Denim/Execution” at Supima’s 2009 Competition for Emerging Designers by combining Cone denim and an Arvind chambray/voile in a skirted pantsuit.
Her strategy: “I wanted to take everyone’s comfort with just throwing on a pair of jeans and make that act into something glamorous,” says the Brooklyn-based designer.
She also created a V-neck cocktail dress of Victorycity jersey, an experience that inspired her to say “I had never worked with such high-quality cottons before.”
