Born in Beirut and raised in Dubai, Nathalie Trad developed a strong penchant for asymmetric designs which today forms the basis of her eponymous line. She earned a BA from Paris’ ESMOD International in Fashion & Accessories Design in 2007 then in 2008 relocated to New York where she obtained a BBA in Design and Management from Parsons The New School for Design and worked under the mentorship of an industry-leading accessories designer at Proenza Schouler –a highly-coveted New York-based womenswear and accessories brand.

Her personal design ethos is to take classic shapes – ubiquitous in our natural environment – and radically transform them, deconstructing and redefining the boundaries of fashion aesthetics. Her debut collection spanning leather handbags, shell clutches and necklaces – is punctuated by chiseled contours, geometric structures and sharp contrasts in color, texture and pattern inspired by nature’s complex form and the ever-unfolding possibilities within it.

Nathalie’s ability to transcend the limits of design, offers us a marriage of seeming incompatibles – a line of unique and dramatic statement pieces that caters to the modern woman of today.
