Aside from being two of the nicest folk on the London fashion circuit, designer Ada Zanditon and brand strategist Nik Thakkar proved themselves to be two of the most talented this LCM with the debut of their new menswear line Ada X Nik. Flying in the face of convention, Ada X Nik is the most refreshing new menswear line to emerge in recent years. Darkly erotic, ultra masculine clothing for the man who is unafraid to flaunt his sexuality, the man who also revels in androgyny and provocation, this slick collection of Greco Roman inspired clothing is everything London fashion should be; creative, forward thinking, polished and individualistic, Ada X Nik pushes the boundaries of conventionalism and revels in throwing down the gauntlet to the conspicuous’dandy’.
Ada X Nik is the line that you know you have always been looking for but never quite found, luxuriously minimalistic paired with Zanditon’s signature edge and flair for the unique. Eel skin, leather, kilts, sheer fabric, to die for biker jackets that are exclusively black in a sleeker take on the street goth silhouette, this is a new aesthetic celebrating raw male beauty and power. The Ada X Nik gladiator is the way of the future, and he is most definitely not wearing a suit.
