About NOM!NAL London

Introducing Nominal London, where the rebels of the world find their voice through the synergy of fashion and art. Founded by Krisztina Kalman and Sean Solomon.

Nominal London is a celebration of diverse perspectives and a testament to the power of authentic creative expression.

At Nominal London, our mission is to inspire creativity within the arts. We do this by using our artform to create fashion that embodies individuality and self-expression. We blend high-quality craftsmanship with bold, contemporary designs to offer unique, accessible pieces through both our main line (NOMINAL LONDON ) and our NM!NL line. Committed to inclusivity and creativity, we aim to inspire and empower our community by making exceptional fashion attainable for all. Through collaborations with artists and an ever-evolving range of styles, NOM!NAL London stands at the intersection of art, culture, and fashion, celebrating diversity and personal expression in every piece we create.

Nominal London started as a creative platform in 2022 as we were looking for more expressive and innovative clothes that allowed us to make a statement. As we were struggling to find these specific types of pieces between mass market and top brands, we decided to create our own. The concept seemed to resonate with a number of our supportive friends, and we decided to take our creative platform commercial and to create the fashion brand. After just over a year of building, Nominal London officially launched at London Fashion Week in September 2023.

United in our love for expressive fashion, as the founders of Nominal London, we are each from very different backgrounds and subsequently have different motivations for building Nominal.

For us, Nominal London is much more than just a fashion brand, it is a way of life, it is our growing tribe. We do not only work together, we like and support each other, we vibe together. If you meet the team, you will feel the positive energy and enthusiasm for creation and for contributing to Nominal. This authentic energy is what makes Nominal London appealing to not only creative people but companies, institutions & other brands that may find value in a creative collaboration with us.

We learned a LOT in the past year and made endless mistakes. We openly acknowledge that our journey is a learning curve—a journey peppered with mistakes and undoubtedly more to come. None of us have professional fashion education and we have had to adapt very fast. We’ve had to learn how to create tech packs, how to build supplier relationships, create a fluid collection with range, select fabrics and trimmings, managing external creatives and interns, preparing VAT statements, the list goes on. None of this was and is straightforward. We know we will never stop learning as we see using new materials, shapes, new technologies will always be our cutting edge, but this learning is FUN.

The journey ahead...

Going into 2024, we would like to share our enthusiasm for our fashion items with likeminded individuals and build the Nominal ecosystem consisting of costumers, collaborators, colleagues, investors and other stakeholders. We also would like to see our clothes being worn on London’s street and on music and fashion stages.

We invite you to join us on a journey where mistakes are stepping stones, and each triumph is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance.

Here at Nominal London, the rebels find not just clothes but a canvas for their stories, an anthem for their expression, and a community that believes in the beauty of imperfection. You are welcome to share the ride with us.
