Growing up between the U.K and Uganda, Nabiséré Nicole gained a unique perspective on the complexities of belonging and identity. After graduating from Central St Martins Womenswear, she established KAKAZI studio in 2018. This came at a time when she was seeking authentic representation of African and Caribbean experiences within the fashion industry. A space in which she also wanted to foster connections with people who shared a love of design, community and storytelling.
Based in London, U.K, KAKAZI studio is a multidisciplinary lifestyle brand platforming the nuances of contemporary womanhood.
KAKAZI oral histories is a global archival platform sharing intergenerational interviews and discussions of the African and Caribbean diasporas through story telling. Exploring themes focused on culture, heritage and community we intend to celebrate the multifaceted layers of trans cultural experiences.
