Aram Nikolyan works with many Armenian celebrities, but he is also well-known to the general public. The Nikolyan Fashion Studio keeps targeting at developing the fashion industry in Armenia and even more, to make know Armenia abroad through creative design work.

With his collection full of Armenianness and Armenian accents, Aram Nikolyan “talks” of important and profound issues not visible to the naked eye. For the creation of the collection, which will be presented at YEREVAN FASHION WEEK, Aram Nikolyan has been inspired by the image of Armenian woman who, going through a number of hardships through centuries, has not given up and remained true to herself. Another source of inspiration has been Pop Art - a new direction for Aram as a designer. “Eclecticism” – the name of the collection speaks for itself: geometric lines, oversize forms, a combination of classic and sporty and in addition to all – a mixture of the Armenian theme and Pop Art: the latter is a novel phenomenon in the Armenian Art and Fashion reality. A differentiating element of the collection is the special type of a print that contains the message of the whole collection - a result of cooperation of Aram Nikolyan and two Pop Art artists.
