Today’s news is interesting! This marks an important moment in the world of fashion, including size. The relaunch of Nakimuri, a brand that has long captured the hearts of fashionistas looking for bold, unique, and unapologetically fun designs.
Founded by Tenille McMillan, Nakimuri has always been a pioneer in the plus-size fashion industry, fusing art, fashion and culture in every piece. Now, after a short hiatus, they’re back with a brand new collection that’s sure to shake up the fashion world.
Return with purpose
If you’ve followed Nakimuli over the years, you know that the brand is much more than just clothing. It’s about identity, self-expression, and empowerment. Nakimuri was born out of Tenille’s dance-to-fashion pivot, taking the label of her clothing as “weird” and turning it into the brand we know and love today. From oversized kimonos to body-hugging dresses, every piece seems to tell a story, celebrating the diversity of the women who wear it.
This relaunch brings the same signature aesthetic that fans of the brand have come to love, but with a new focus on size inclusivity. With a range of sizes from S to 3X, Nakimuli will continue to expand to accommodate a wide range of body types and allow everyone to experience the joy of wearing their own style.
A perennial favorite in plus size fashion
This brand has always been a favorite of The Curvy Fashionista readers, and for good reason. Over the years, we’ve featured the brand many times, praising its fearless approach to plus-size fashion and its ability to blend bold, playful prints with modern, chic silhouettes. Whether it’s a draped cardigan that elevates your everyday look or a statement dress perfect for a night out, Nakimuri’s work is always about standing out, not blending in.
In fact, the brand has become a staple in our Indie Designer Spotlight series, and Tennille’s dedication to creating clothes that not only fit plus-size bodies, but celebrate them has been emphasized. In past features, we called Nakimuli a brand that “turns around and starts a conversation,” and that sentiment still holds true. With this relaunch, they continue to push the boundaries, making it clear that size-inclusive fashion doesn’t have to come at the expense of style or creativity.
What do you expect from the new collection and resumption of activities?
So what can you expect from the brand’s latest collection? First of all, it comes in a ton of colors! Bold prints and bright colors are the brand’s signature, and this collection is no exception. Think kaleidoscopic patterns, playful geometries, and texture combinations for eye-catching ensembles. From delicate jumpsuits perfect for fall festivals to more structured pieces to add an edge to your wardrobe, there’s something for everyone.
This collection also focuses on the idea of versatility. Many of our items are designed to be styled in a variety of ways, giving you the freedom to mix and match and dress them up or down to create an outfit that’s truly yours. And of course, the brand’s signature African-inspired prints are front and center, offering cultural nods that make every piece feel like a work of art.
Tennille’s love for bold, unconventional designs is evident in the new collection, which offers a variety of silhouettes for different moods and occasions, from body-hugging to flowing silhouettes. Whether you’re looking for something casual and comfortable, or something chic and sophisticated, Nakimuli has you covered.
Why restarting Nakimuri is important
In a fashion industry that still struggles with size inclusivity, Nakimuri’s return is more than just a collection drop, it’s a statement. At a time when size-inclusive fashion is more in demand than ever, the brand reminds us that plus-size fashion can be bold, artistic and unapologetically daring.
While many brands are still playing catch-up, Nakimuri stays ahead of the curve and understands that plus-size women deserve to be noticed and wear clothes that make them feel confident and stylish. . This relaunch feels like a necessary addition to the ever-evolving conversation around body positivity and fashion, one that doesn’t just talk the talk, but walks the walk and creates fashion for different body types.
Nakimuli was on that list when we were just realizing that plus size brands don’t exist anymore, but this news excites and encourages us and we’re here to help. I hope I can spark something for the brands that were in and left to welcome them with open arms (and checkbooks, too).

Beyond clothing, their mission has always been about empowerment. Tenille McMillan’s journey from self-taught designer to founder of a groundbreaking size-inclusive brand is proof of what’s possible when you combine passion and purpose.
This relaunch feels like a continuation of that mission, giving women the opportunity to wear clothes that are beautiful, bold and unapologetically themselves.
As Nakimuri reclaims their place in the fashion world, it’s clear they’re here to make an impact.
For those of us who have been following the brand for many years, this is the relaunch we’ve been waiting for. If you are new to this brand, get ready. Enjoy fashionable rides.
