The Nina Maya Story
Nina Maya Skrzynski is one of Australia’s most outstanding young designers renowned for creating beautiful, high-end collections with an emphasis on quality, silhouette and finishing. Since the launch of her Nina Maya label in March 2006, the designer has developed a strong following from industry, celebrity and consumers alike, both here in Australia and internationally.
“Nina Maya is for the effortlessly chic, modern woman who appreciates luxurious, wearable pieces.”
Nina has always had a strong penchant for fashion, completing a design degree, majoring in textiles, at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, before heading overseas on an internship with a textile firm in London. Her next move, back to her childhood home of Italy, proved to be a cornerstone in her career – working for a high-end fashion house, Nina was invited to design her own range which they then produced. The range was immediately picked up by Australian department store David Jones with major boutiques across the country soon following.
“Nina Maya is young and fresh…she has a great understanding of print and colour.” Damian Burke, Head Womenswear Buyer, David Jones.
After her enormously successful debut season, Nina repatriated to Australia to set up her own company and further establish the Nina Maya brand. Taking a stand against disposable fashions that are “in one season and out the next”, Nina’s focus on sustainability and desire to create “investment pieces” has seen the label go from strength-to-strength.
From its inception in 2006, the Nina Maya label has been strongly supported by local Australian stockists. 2007 saw Nina Maya’s first foray into the international market when the label was selected as one of ten designer brands to participate in the AUSSTYLE 07 Austrade event in Dubai. The label was subsequently picked up by exclusive boutiques in Qatar and Dubai, placing Nina Maya alongside mega-brands Christian Dior and Vera Wang.
“Nina Maya projects strong, bold silhouettes that are contemporary and relevant whilst simultaneously carrying an air of ageless, timeless, grace which appeals to all.”
