THE DESIGNER

Oh hey there - I’m Brenna, the human behind nordeen. I am a half asian, queer woman with a love for love. Fashion and weddings have always been intertwined and deeply rooted within everything i’ve done. during a rigorous four years at the fashion institute of technology in nyc way back when, i started to question if fashion is actually what i wanted to do. i took some time to contemplate alternative career paths and began working for a high end wedding planner. ultimately, i decided to persevere and upon graduation, jumped head first into working and designing for a variety of brands - from luxury, to bridal, to contemporary womenswear. during this time, i fell into the existential grasp of sustainability. it dawned on me the impact fashion has on our planet and our society. this lit a desire within me to make positive changes whilst shifting industry norms.

looking back, nordeen is the culmination of my being and everything i stand for. as the brand continues to grow, i realize i hold in my hands a union of where i started and what i presently hold dear - an authentic collection of wedding attire inspired by nature, and with each piece, a desire to preserve its beauty.

after launching the brand in new york city, it is currently based in los angeles. I am honored to share this wild journey with you all.
