From a childhood spent in Seventh Avenue’s Garment District to her stints as a celebrated children’s clothier, guest designer for Brooks Brothers, and designer of her own womenswear collection, Nikki Kule has always been driven by a love of iconic American style and a modern quirky aesthetic.

After attending Parsons School of Design in Paris and New York, Kule spent the first years of her career in Italy. While there, she enriched her classic American style with a bold, colorful European aesthetic–an influence that remains to this day in her personal style and design.

Currently, Kule has entered a new phase of her brand, KULE, with a branded stripes collection for men and women. Stripes have always been a constant thread in all of her collections; here, she takes it to another level. A seasoned collector and admirer of stripes, Kule is now focused on this passion, creating a range of silhouettes for all stripe lovers and addicts. The result is a specialized line that represents the essence of her American design philosophy with a touch of Francophile whimsy. She resides in New York with her husband and two children.

Nikki Kule has been a CFDA Member since 2010.
