5 out of 5 starsI love my custom shirt bodice! It arrived so quickly (I'm in the U.S.) and it fits perfectly! Nina was a delight to communicate with and her talent and care goes into each one of her clothing pieces. I look forward to wearing my shirt and will definitely be purchasing more from her in the future! I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you again!

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this dress - it was so exciting to see it on for the first time. It is extremely well made, from beautiful fabrics and fits me like a glove. People who see me in it think it's stunning and they are fascinated to see the imaginative use of ties. I think it's an inspiring dress - people tell me they are inspired seeing it - I think it represents creativity and beauty and thinking outside of the box. So I wanted to say thank you Nina, and also thank you for managing to create it for me so quickly too. I can't wait to wear it to the fashion show I am hosting that is promoting sustainability in textiles in May. Thanks again - I really love it!!!!

The Shirt Bodice, Swing Dress and Suit Patch Dress. Photography Joyke Veuskens, Model Emma Witter at Sandra Reynolds.
Deconstructing classic menswear into contemporary womenswear
I started making things for my first foray into clubbing in the late '90s, utilizing my brothers old Levi jeans (so wonderfully threadbare!) and deconstructing highly flammable colour-popping '60s nightdresses.
I gained a First Class BA(Hons) Fashion Design Degree in 2002 followed by a Masters in Fashion and Textiles in 2003 at the Nottingham Trent University. Winning Young Designer of the Year 2003/2004 for reconstructing Levi 501's: a huge honour and a
coincidental nod to how it all began...
I have been trading under my upcycled womenswear label Enienay since March 2004. I was a permanent feature at Spitalfields Traders Market, London every weekend for 11 years until 2017. Now, having started a family, Enienay ready-to-wear items are only available here on Etsy!
I live in London with my children's book author/illustrator husband Benji Davies. We happily share a studio (sometimes) and tea making duties (all the time).
