Nile Baker is a native of California and has been designing and making clothes since 2014. Nile is a self-taught designer and clothing maker. His interest in clothing design and manufacture started when he had to create a dance costume for his senior year BFA concert. Nile takes an artisanal and slow approach to creating, using hand sewing techniques, dyeing by hand, and working primarily with natural fibres. He enjoys fusing old world craft with unique and unusual, modern and avant-garde design details. He has worked in the ateliers of Zam Barrett, an avant-garde designer based in Brooklyn, and Robert Danes, a women’s evening-wear designer based in New York City. Nile has designed costumes for Indelible Dance and other New York dance artists.
