HighSnobette-Hello Ebony! thank you for taking the time to do this for us! Nuvany Ni'ce is your site, can you describe it to our readers?
Wow, thanks for the invitation...I'm an avid reader of Highsnobette, so this is definitely an honor! Okay where do I start, I actually started Nuvany Ni'ce to sell unique finds that I would come across on my weekly shopping excursions. And it has definitely evolved into much more, I do mini-interviews with indie designers and artists, host giveaways, blog about my life, out-n-about(street-style photos,events), a new feature called Grinding(check it :),promote various events...I'm constantly adding new elements to the site and I think that's what makes it unique and keeps things fresh!
HighSnobette-What do you think of Trends in general from shoes accessories,to apparel?
E- I have never been a trend kinda gal...I can remember in high school I lived in Seoul, South Korea and I bought a pair of tennis ball airwalk shoes(they were literally neon green tennis ball material)..I got clowned so hard for wearing them to school, but it just fueled my creative interest even more...NYC is such a great place to see real creativity in action...When I'm out scouring the streets for style photos for the site, I'm very selective of who I'll snap a pic. of...To me being stylish is not exclusively following trends but being able to mix it up old,new,vintage,high-end,cheap...Whatever goes as long as YOU make it hot!
HighSnobette-What has been you fave trend? if any and your least fave?
E-If I had to pick a trend it would be all the various remixes of African fabrics..I've recently fallen in love with indie designer Maya Lake of Boxing Kitten...She's sick with it, I've been waiting to find someone that designs wearable modern clothing using African fabrics. I'm also a lover of vintage ...Vintage has been very popular lately within the mainstream of fashion, everyones rockin vintage these days...Designers are referring to the past even more for inspiration with their collections. Hmm my least fave trend would have to be people that go overboard with the 80's retro look, head to toe neon, eh eh(in my Nigerian accent)!
E-Its definitely intentional, I've always been a fan of things that are different and not necessarily the norm. I'm constantly searching for designers and artists that have that "it" factor. It's the WHOLEEE grind of the designers and artists I feature, that motivates me to be a vehicle that links them to the world. The most inspiring part of this whole journey is seeing how one can literally create his/her own destiny by simply following their deepest passion!
HighSnobette-Any word of advice for our readers?
Editor's Note-Ebony Is a proud mother of four little ones, proving to all of us that anything is possible, seriously,can she look better in those jeans!
Thanks EBONY U Rock !!!
