Founder's Note
Welcome—I’m so glad you're here.
I’m Akia, the founder and designer behind Akia Nicole. Fashion has always been a powerful form of self-expression for me—a way to step into confidence and feel my best. I’ve long believed that when you look good, you feel good, and I started designing with a simple intention: to help women feel beautiful in pieces that truly reflect who they are.
In the early days, I created custom looks for friends and family—from special occasion dresses to statement pieces—and over time, I found myself gravitating toward the effortless elegance of resortwear.
While planning a trip to the Caribbean, I realized I couldn’t find pieces that felt quite right—stylish, comfortable, and versatile. So I decided to make them myself. That experience sparked the beginning of this brand: a space where my love for travel, bold design, and thoughtful craftsmanship could come together to help women feel their most radiant—wherever life takes them.
Thank you for being part of this journey. I hope you find something here that makes you feel seen, confident, and beautifully you.
With love,
Akia
