Why Nin Studio is worth it
Nin Studio heat-presses deadstock fabric into wave and square pleats, making bold-printed dresses and tops that move with any body.
Every piece is cut by hand in Mexico City and pleated by a family business a short walk from the studio, and because the cut uses all of the fabric, the print lands differently on each one. The pleats give stretch and shape without fuss, across mock-neck tank dresses, cropped tops, wide trousers and roomy jackets, many cut to work on any gender.

About Nin Studio
Brittany Maton, an Australian designer, started Nin Studio in 2018 while living in San Francisco and making ceramics; the name comes from her brother's childhood nickname for her.
Her first pieces were cut by hand on her apartment floor, and the label grew in Mexico City around pleated, often unisex clothing made with local sewing and pleating teams and mostly deadstock fabric.
