Fashion + Innovation equals me, I am Nicole Franklin an innovative fashion designer who designs for private and corporate brands. I specialize in Womenswear, Menswear and Accessories. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, I have no intention of slowing down or being left behind the curve. My dedication and commitment to making long lasting products that customers desire makes me a valued asset and standout team player.
I work closely with my clients, actively listening to their needs to create a design that fits their needs. By using 3D rendering I can reduce production cost and time while bringing an original design to life incorporating unique graphics, prints, trims and fabrics. Norma Kamali said it best, “Little girls with dreams become women with vision.” I became such a woman and I love taking on projects that stretch my imagination and allow me to bring my client’s vision to life. Allow me to do the same for your vision.
With my passion for solving the age-old question of what to wear? I extensively research a brand’s heritage to create stylish and inspired designs that meet the market’s needs and don’t sacrifice quality. My designs match and enhance your brand’s identity from sourcing environmentally friendly fabrics, to graphics, to on trend prints, to fit, to quality control. My process allows me to connect with each client and deliver exceptional results that ensures a brand stands out in today’s crowded marketplace.
I have worked with high caliber clients like Tommy Hilfiger, Lady and Butler, Johnston & Murphy, Nautica and Vineyard Vines.
My education has prepared me to excel in this industry, I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design and a Bachelor of Arts from Eugene Lang College. I am always learning and incorporating new skills to my designs and approach to keep up with an ever-changing landscape. When I am not designing, I enjoy hiking, Pilates, meditation and reading.
