Ono Uno creates luxurious, timeless, high end evening wear.

The brand was launched in Autumn 2013 with womenswear designer Nadine Merabi appointed as their Creative Director.

Nadine is relatively new to the fashion world , having remarkably taught herself how to sew and design. Tucked away in her bedroom, using a machine she bought from Argos and watching You Tube videos. Nadine worried she would be laughed at, it was an idea she kept to herself after a total U-turn in her education and career as an International hockey player, representing her country for nearly 10 years.

December 2010, Nadine launched her own label ‘Nadine Merabi’ to critical acclaim. After successfully previewing her collections in London, Manchester and Cayman Islands Fashion Weeks, Retail giant Selfridges spotted the brands potential. Soon after the Selfridges launch and becoming the third best seller after the likes of Alexander McQueen, Nadine Merabi had made her mark within the fashion industry’s major labels.

Nadine has dressed some of the UK’s best known tv actresses including: Michelle  Keegan , Brooke Vincent , Catherine Tyldsley, Jennifer MetCalfe and Georgia May Foote.

She was asked to work with new international brand ‘Ono Uno’ in Autumn 2013, because of her talent and  ability to create timeless and beautiful garments that women covet.

Her signature style is the classic “wow” dress , and draws on many Eastern Influences in her cuts, design and style.

Nadine and the Ono Uno team carefully sources the best quality fabrics from all over the world. Always looking for ‘that little bit different’

Ono Uno’s launch event took place at Manchester boutique bowling alley All Star Lanes , in association with Vogue Magazine’s ‘Fashion Night Out on October 10th 2013.

Talented Merabi showcased her 30 piece strong classic  collection to an admiring crowd of 300 fashionistas.

Her refined ‘Black Widow’ collection, described as ‘elegant seductive and  dark’ wowed the fashion audience and received press accolade for the debut Ono Uno collection.

She used jet blacks, deep blues, vivid green and shimmering golds , incorporating a sensuous mixture of fabrics, textures and trimmings.

Ono Uno will to show at London Fashion week in February 2014 and will launch a menswear and an accessory line in Spring 2014.
