KRMA Clothing
Designer: Nicholas Bowes

Nicholas Bowes is no stranger to the fashion industry. He was a model for over 10 years before he realized his true calling was behind the runway, as a designer. Nick has a passion for all things creative and singularly unique. Most importantly, he is passionate about his designs and believes in their wider appeal.

In 1999, Nick established a successful screenprinting business. By 2002, he had completed a range of t-shirts featuring his unique graphic designs which, with Nick’s creative flair and perseverance, led to the creation of a new Mens and Womens fashion label. In
2003, Nick designed his first collection bearing the KRMA (Kangaroos Roam Mainland Australia) label and he hasn't looked back.

He spent four years in Australia, designing and developing the KRMA label, all the while refining his designs and gaining invaluable experience in the cutting-edge fashion industry. He achieved a high level of success, with comprehensive ranges of the Mens and Womens lines featuring in retail and wholesale venues and making regular appearances in fashion shows. After exhausting the Australian market, Nick looked further afield to the United States of America. He saw a market for a new KRMA Mens and Womens line and, inspired by his five nephews, created the first KRMA Kids range.

Based in Los Angeles, Nick has organized printers, dye-houses and manufacturers to produce quality American-made, Australian-designed garments. The unique KRMA range has been introduced to the US market at numerous tradeshows in New York, Las Vegas and Miami.

Since its inception in 2003, the KRMA range has gained international recognition. The label has been enthusiastically picked up by numerous stores including Atrium, Henri Bendel, Barneys New York Los Angeles, Bloomingdales, Fred Segal and Isetan (Japan) and around 60 Boutiques Nation Wide in the USA. KRMA's signature look includes vintage-style t-shirts, leather jackets, denim washes and soft knits.

Nick maintains that it is the high quality fabrics that set KRMA Clothing apart from the rest, utilizing Italian lambskin leather, luxurious cotton and merino/cashmere wool to create the classic KRMA look. Nick creates what he likes to wear and uses colour palettes that he knows will look good not only for the season, but for years to come.

Krma Clothing is a high end Street Luxe Clothing label with a rock and roll flavour for anyone with a desire for top quality garments .
