Our Story

THE DESIGNER 

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Shante's love for fashion led her to study design + marketing at FIDM Los Angeles, where she began assisting in fashion show production and staging. After gaining retail and internship experience with retailers such as Marc Jacobs and Nordstrom, Shante quickly became frustrated with the lack of diversity within the fashion industry. From there, the idea of Nicole Shante was birthed.
