I just recently learned of Tori-Nichel in the May 2007 issue of Essence Magazine. She has been dubbed by them "The Next Big Thing" and I'm inclined to agree. The 30-year old Michigan native is a graduate of F.I.T., has worked for Dana Buchman and Kenneth Cole and has recently launched her signature label. Tori-Nichel's design philosophy centers on fabric, details and fine tailoring. She says that the inside of her garments look just as great as the outside and fit a woman's body beautifully in all of the right places.
