Ivo Nikkolo

The bourgeois obsession with fashion in the West was something always frowned upon by the leaders of the USSR. After all, fashion represents commerce, creativity and personal freedom - foreign concepts in a world where the individual laboured for the glory of the state. Perhaps it was as a reaction to their recent past that so many fashion houses sprung up in the newly indepedent capital, amongst them Ivo Nikkolo, a successful business that's been going since 1994. If you're searching for an original look then a trip to one of their boutiques could be very rewarding. They have a great range of funky, attention-grabbing dresses. And if fashion's not your thing though you can have a laugh at the prententious word plays on their website... Remember: "Green salad does not exclude dark chocolate".
