Nuriyah

Visiting India many years during her childhood and then again as an adult, Seema was moved by the tradition amongst her people. She was further floored by women artisans with distinct talents in their craft. Embroidery, embellishments, fine silks and textiles left her speechless almost every time. In 2014, after a trip to India and Turkey, Seema knew in her heart that it was time for a career change. After seventeen years in healthcare, Seema began looking for an outlet for her love of art. She aligned herself with women artisans in Afghanistan, Turkey and India through travel and a lot of networking. After two years of perserverence she founded Nuriyah, a couture handbag line (founded in August 2016). Nuriyah’s collection is known for distinct hand embellishments utilizing vintage fabrics, textiles and accessories from all over the world. Nuriyah also focuses on supporting women artisans who wish for their talents to be showcased in New York City.

Naurah
Naurah USA is an Indo-Western ready to wear clothing line launched by Ayesha Khanna who is a well known choreographer and the Founder & Director of Bollywood Funk NYC Dance school. The brand was launched in 2017 with the vision to expand and diversify from original Indian Couture line based in India. Having lived in New York for over a decade but with her roots in India, Ayesha was inspired to create a brand for the passionate, inspirational women of today who are always hustling. A clothing line that was beautiful, unique yet wearable! Naurah focuses on creating niche pieces customized for their discerning clientele. Inspired by the collections that were exclusively privy to the royalty and royalty alone and thoroughly researched from the archives to absorb the best from the past. These then were fused with the modern trends to create designs that have caught the imagination of the fashion conscious. Hence our tag line—traditional threads, modern trends. At Naurah USA, "less is more" is the philosophy to life with a traditional weave that is a refreshing contemporary take on classical Indian silhouettes. The modern woman would rather dance the night away in these feather-like light apparels and still feel special. In NYC, where black is the color for a night out, we choose to present a colorful yet stylistic approach to dressing up. Why do we have to blend in, when we can stand out? We love to use traditional staples like goergette, chiffon, chanderi, brocade, silk, and cotton but give them a signature and a fresh treatment so the clothes don't fall short on the fun and whimsical factor. Our mission is to make our customers feel unique in these garments. Looking good starts with feeling good and that is what we love to focus on while putting together a dream outfit.Like we say to our clients, Make EVERY DAY an occasion to make a style statement.
Each design we create, can be customized to some extend keeping the clients preferences in mind. We want customers feeling proud wearing a piece that is exclusively made for them. With this goal in mind, we strive to make every version of the original design a little different, better, lets just say more “You."

WALK Co.
My name is Terrica Walker, but I go by the nickname TWalk. I am 21 years old, and was born and raised in PG County, Maryland. I've always had a fascination and true appreciation of artistic careers and individuals. My parents started me off early with things like piano lessons and ballet. I also did a lot of school plays and tried every sport imaginable. The first time I knew for sure that I wanted a career in fashion is when I saw the movie 'The Devil Wears Prada'. I think I was about 10 years old. Still one of my favs! I didn't know what career I wanted in fashion right away, though. I considered being a Creative Director or a Fashion Merchandiser. After not getting accepted into the Fashion Institute of Technology, I went to Bowie State University where I majored in Business. I wanted to drop out my first year to start working on creating a brand full-time, but my father convinced me to finish school first. I was super impatient, so I decided to finish school in just three years instead of four by taking courses all-year-round. Stressful, but it paid off. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing, and graduated Cum Laude! Right after I graduated, I immediately started working on my brand, WALK, with full-force. I designed my first collection and launched it on Sept 29, 2017. Since then I’ve done a number of runway shows, been featured on the news, and have gained customers that I’ve created a bond with. Although I’m happy with my progress, I plan to work to improve everyday and take it to the heights I believe it will go.
