Nickie Nina 26

PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE

2019

Tell us about your brand, how and when did you decide to become a fashion designer? At NickieNina, each collection is unique in its level of individuality, originality & elegance. A combination of Nickieâ€™s classic sense of design with Ninaâ€™s gallant sensibility of style has been the biggest strength of the label thus far, creating inimitable timeless pieces with each new collection. We were both entrepreneurs working in the corporate world while designing clothes for friends and family on the side. One fine day, we decided to take the all or nothing approach and quit our day jobs to focus solely on our love for fashion Describe NN in three words? Timeless, Chic & Festive What makes NN different from other brands? Every NickieNina piece is curated with love Where do you derive your inspiration from? At NickieNina, we do not have a set formula for inspiration. Our inspiration can come from a sandy beach, a palace in Versailles, rich culture of the subcontinent or anything in between. Who do you think will be the perfect muse for this brand? Anna Wintour. However, we would have loved to dress Benazir Bhutto in her lifetime. Which one is your favorite creation so far? The Royal Military collection which was inspired by the Pakistan Army. Our late father was an army officer and we dedicated the collection to him, therefore it has a special place in our hearts. Describe your clientele? What kind of women carries your outfits? The NickieNina woman varies from strong, independent, successful women to younger, sassy girls with a flair for fashion What are the pros and cons of being a fashion designer? Being a fashion designer is very liberating as it gives you a strong sense of achievement seeing others wear your designs. The only con would be the long hours and balancing family life with work life. Any advice for an aspiring fashion designer? Or someone in the same field as you? Fashion should always be combined with your own personal style so please create your own signature style while keeping up with the latest trends. Furthermore, there is no shortcut to experience so please be willing to put in the hours and be open to criticism. Where do you wish to see NN in the next 5 years? Being a household name already, our dream is that whenever a woman thinks of fashion, she thinks of NickieNina 2019

2020

Did you stumble upon your career or was it something that you always wanted? I always wanted to be an artist, i always wanted to create and share my art. Hence I explored different art forms from sculpture to dance to animation and eventually got into the art of Story telling. What was your “aha!” moment? Everyday we discover something New, We get amazed, we get surprised, we have new realizations. Hence I would say my life is full of "aha" moments. Did you ever consider or experience a career change? Yes I started off as a sculptor, ventured into animation, started acting, then a talk show host and then now a director and a producer. Aren't they all different experiences and I am open to exploring more.

My upbringing, the love and support my parents always gave me, my close family bonding, my dogs and all that God has given me. I think I am very blessed. What is #1 thing that is yet to be ticked off your bucket list? A knapsack, solid pair of shoes and me wandering around the world. What does nobody tell you about being the boss? Being the boss is always not fun. At times you are the last one to know that somethings gone wrong.

“BEING THE BOSS IS ALWAYS NOT FUN. AT TIMES YOU ARE THE LAST ONE TO KNOW THAT SOMETHINGS GONE WRONG."

When was a time you felt completely discouraged and how did you push through it? Like everyone I have had major setbacks but that has never stopped me. Recovery is a big issue in this industry and I have come down to zero many times but strange enough some new door or some guardian angel comes my way. My belief that God is looking over me has always made me feel positive and I have always come through.

What was the best advice that your mentor gave you? My mentor was my dad and he always told me if I do my best and give it all I have i will never fail and that has always worked for me. Whatever i take on becomes a passion and feeling passionate about what you chose to do is the key to success. What are the top 3 things you cherish in your life?

Name on boss lady that you admire and how she still inspires you? Benazir, at the age of 35 to become a prime minister in a country where men rule.. That is admirable. Describe a day in your life If I am.not shooting I like staying at home, spending time with my three dogs. Writing is something I recently discovered whether it's good by any standards that does not matter but it gives me a lot of satisfaction.

Complete this sentence: To me, a #BossLady is…” A force to reckon with What did you learn from your biggest failure? To try again. Which world leader would you most like to have dinner with? Trump. I find him very amusing. What advice would you give to young girls out there who have dreams and goals like yours? Exactly what my dad told me Go for it and give it all you've got.

shanaz ramzi barcelona

travel diaries Where did you go? We went to Barcelona as we were taking a Mediterranean cruise that originated and culminated there and we thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to spend a few extra days there and thoroughly explore the city.

planes, trains & automobiles

Travelling is great fun. You get to explore a new place, meet new people and get wiser! We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our section, planes, trains & automobiles! Tell us the most delicious meal you tired? When we travel we love to explore local cuisine and were very lucky that we had a gourmand among us who had been to Barcelona before and already tried the best food available. So, he took us to El Xampanyet at Gothic Quarters for lunch, which had a huge waiting line, and where among other things we tried the Spanish omelette, and a variety of tapas including the signature anchovies, all of which were delectable.

Tell us the most exciting thing you did during your trip? Other than lots of sight-seeing, eating and shopping, we went to see a flamenco dance show at Palau Dalmases, which was a lot of fun.

Tips? Spare at least three days to really imbibe the spirit of the city and be prepared to do plenty of walking. The hop-on-hop-off bus is a must if you donâ€™t have too much time, as you at least get to see all the important sights from the bus â€“ sit on the top for best view -- and can opt to get off for those places that you want to see from within, if you have the time.

horoscope

Our fab astrologer Zahid Haider, styles up your stars. Find out what’s in store for you this week!

For your in-depth weekly forecast call 0322-757-5219 E-mail: happyhaider65@gmail.com

ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) Be especially careful when it comes to money matters this week. Take stock of every penny you spend. Unexpected expenses take a toll on your budget. Thinking about investing in an idea? Research thoroughly. Read the terms and conditions before you put your name on the dotted line. You don’t want somebody taking advantage of your niceness. Waiting on a cheque to arrive since the beginning of time? Get proactive. Today also brings with itself the reminder that you cannot truly be happy and less you are living your soul purpose. See how and where you need to realign. TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) If you have put your money in all the right places, expect magnificent returns. As such, this year spells luxury with a capital L. Get ready to be indulged by the Universe, Taurus. The secret sauce to your success? Marrying your entrepreneurial skills with your creative genius. You have all the right ideas this week. Be sure to capitalize on them. Some of you may feel inspired to give poetry or prose a shot. They say ‘the pen is mightier than the sword’ for a reason. GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) What you have asked for has already manifested, just not in this dimension—yet. Be patient with the Universe as you continue to put in the work. This week brings in the reminder that confidence is the best tool at your disposal. How and where are you holding yourself back? Have that pep talk with yourself, Gemini. CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) It’s easy to go about your day with the poise of a Zen master when everything in your reality is picture perfect. The true test of your wokeness: how you manage to stay centered when everything around is falling apart. Cancer, be warned. This is going to be a chaotic week. Your buttons are going to be pushed in more ways than one. Some of you may even question the foundation on which you have built your life so far. If something has to go, let it. You know better than to push against the flow. LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) When they look at your life, they see a picture perfect reality. They don’t see the challenges, the downfalls, and the failures that broke your spirit, if only temporarily. But you regret nothing. You understand that each of these experiences made you the person you are today—one who personifies strength and resilience. Leo, let this understanding be the secret to your success. Some of you may be investing in a personal project alongside your day job. Perfect the fine art of balance. VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) This week isn’t so much about learning as it is about unlearning. You are letting go of the old ways of thinking and being. The new decade calls for a shift in paradigm. Remember, your mind is the sharpest tool at your disposal. You can either use it to create a trap for yourself or come up with innovative solutions. The secret sauce to your success: an intoxicating mix of creativity and confidence. LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) The Universe is in the mood to play your personal genie. What do you truly desire, Libra? World domination, a swanky studio that puts you on the map, a one-way ticket to Berlin, a wardrobe that would put the Jenners to shame or all of the above? A new phase of your life is about to begin, and it requires you to break up with the self-doubt as you start acting in alignment with your higher purpose. Remember, you are gifted with the ability to turn thoughts into things. Use this power to create a reality that looks a lot like your dreams.

SCORPIO (OCT. 24 - NOV. 22) This week, you’re getting in touch with the creative spark within, one that’s making you add a touch of magic to everything you come into contact with. Reconnect with your inner Wordsworth, Scorpio. They say the pen is mightier than the sword for a reason. Don’t want to limit yourself to the written word? Find a form of expression that is best suited to your personality type. Some of you may feel inspired to sync your forces with a friend or loved one. Forget about the destination for a second and enjoy what the journey is awakening within you. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23 -DEC. 21) Life isn’t always about starting over. Sometimes it’s about seeing the same situation in a brand new light. Let this light shine your career path. You have learned that success can only be achieved by taking risks, pushing your limits, and having a torrid affair with the unknown. Sag, you’re on the top of your game for a reason. The only thing you should be wary of is taking on the weight of the world on your shoulders. If you want to expand your operations, consider hiring (and training) the right people. CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) Capricorn, you are the wise one in the tribe. Listen to the stirrings of your heart that are telling you to start sharing your knowledge. If you have been thinking about taking on a mentorship role or training those who want to walk the same path, the answer is yes. Others may feel inspired to get their geek on and prepare for a course/examination that will align them with their higher purpose. But don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s an ‘all work and no play’ kind of week. Teamwork equals dream work. So sync your forces with the right people. AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) When you find yourself unable to make a decision, stop, breathe and re-center. Ask yourself the following question: “Will this action bring me one step closer to the final destination?” Keep the long-term goals in mind as you make your next move, Aquarius. Remember, you are doing this for you. There is no need to give yourself guilt over how other people will perceive your big move. Some of you may even feel limited by your circumstances. Remember, the only obstacles that exist are the ones you project onto your reality. Be sure to call your power back. PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) “Where is everybody going to and what’s the rush anyway?,” you ask as you examine the artwork before you. The pieces aren’t quite finished yet, but that doesn’t bother you one bit. The process of creation takes its own sweet time and you’re okay with that. Working in collaboration with the Universe is bringing a sense of ease and flow into everything you do, Pisces. What you want to be mindful of, however, is investing your money in the wrong places. Leave no stone unturned when it comes to research. You want to read the offer document carefully before you sign it.
