Hasta La Ideas

If anyone has had the misfortune of breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, then you’ve probably had the urge to stay in your room all day, watch bad movies, and wear the same thing for 2 weeks straight. While I can’t help you with your choices of movies, it may be worthwhile to take a look at Nina Nikicio’s newest diffusion line oneandahalf. Her first collection, entitled “Heartbreak” boasts affordable prices from $16-$55. Instead of wearing sweats that have seen better days, “Heartbreak” features shirts and blazers with detachable arms, collars, and cuffs that provide endless variations. That means no one will ever know that shirt dress you wore yesterday is the same as the sleeveless vest you’re wearing today! With a monochrome black, white, and gray color pallete, it’s easy to mix, match, and never clash. Indonesian-born and Singapore-based designer Nina Nikicio started her eponymous fashion line in 2006 after attending Lasalle College of The Arts in Singapore and earning a diploma in fashion design. She’s certainly keeping busy with two fashion lines! I got a chance to find out what inspired Nina for her latest collection and what we can expect to find in the near future.
