From an early age, Ingred’s love for fashion was shaped by the women who came before her. She watched her mother dress daily in elegant suits and refined pieces—each outfit a reflection of grace and confidence. While her mother embraced femininity, Ingred was a tomboy, growing up among her brothers, playing football, climbing trees, and wearing their trousers. Her wardrobe was filled with pants, yet there was always a touch of her mother’s influence—tailor-made pieces crafted from fabric remnants of her mother’s own outfits. This unique blend of styles—the structured elegance of her mother’s wardrobe and the relaxed, effortless feel of her own tomboy aesthetic—became the foundation of Ingred’s fashion identity. Over time, she grew to appreciate the artistry of custom-made clothing, understanding the power of a perfect fit and the personal touch of bespoke fashion.

Her late grandmother, another strong influence, had impeccable taste in fashion, collecting tailor-made clothes, elegant shoes, and statement bags. Like Ingred’s mother, she valued fashion as a form of self-expression and confidence. Today, Nilotika is a tribute to these powerful women, merging their legacies into a brand that celebrates individuality, sophistication, and bold self-expression. Ingred’s designs balance feminine silhouettes with structured, powerful pieces like trousers and jumpsuits—a perfect reflection of her journey. Through Nilotika, she inspires women to embrace their uniqueness, love themselves unapologetically, and wear fashion that makes them feel both strong and beautiful.
