Nikki Montoya / Need Supply Co.

Here is a shout out to Nikki Montoya a super rad jewelry designer based in LA.  As a metalsmith she handcrafts her jewelry in her studio using mainly brass which will change color over time to create that heirloom feel.  Her father served as a guiding light being also a jewelry designer big in the 60's.   Her designs are simple and alluring. She uses sacred geometry and columbian charm to create that edgy feel we all want.




While searching her stocklists, I came across Need Supply Co. which blew me away.  They have everything you could ever want on one sight.  The company started in 1996 selling only Levi's at a storefront in Richmond, VA.  Since then expanding into a multi cultural extravaganza.  Supporting both well known brands to independent designers worldwide.  The first thing you see on their home site is a lovely slideshow showcasing whats in store. Including a monthly looks page for both men and women, shoes, lingerie, household items, you name it. Overall the style is modern, chic, and very trendy.  Scroll down and you come across a collage of site updates. Incorporating back in stock clothing/favorites and articles as you can see below. Here is where it gets interesting they give you direct access to their blog full of awe-inspiring features on everything from up and coming artists to historic icons/events. They also host events such as Meet the Maker amongst others. This sight screams innovation and equality, keeping you up to date on everything cultural. A wonderful cyberspace find.
