Lakia
Nichols is
originally from Anchorage, AK where her family base resides. She is the second oldest of six siblings and
proud mother of a girl and a boy.
As a
child, Lakia displayed fashion sense that would spark her fashion journey. It was middle school in 7th grade
when she set her sights on the fashion industry. After high school, she decided to attend
college to start a fashion business that shared her style expertise and
admiration. A fashion company that
caters and relates to fashion lovers.
In
2009, Lakia graduated from American Intercontinental University (Buckhead, Atlanta
campus now merged with the Dunwoody campus), with a Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree in Fashion Design/Fashion Marketing.
During college, she gained a lot of experience within the two years of working
for a high-end department store.
Through
this experience and new degree, Lakia became founder and co-owner of The
Fashion Go 2 Gals, LLC. After two years of learning and growing as a new
business owner, she launched her personal brand, That Fashion Chick, LLC.
Networking and events have been great support thus far. Watching this new
company grow and creatively expressing fashion, made Lakia want to contribute
something memorable, unique and relatable to the fashion industry. Fashion blogging was not in her original
plans, fortunately it turned to a good idea.
Lakia
is focused on catering directly to TFC's target audience, by furthering her
education through fashion journalism. The goal is to be
exclusive without much advertising and produce a dynamic brand image. Fashion journalism gives a voice to fashion
art, translating images into unified words.
The Academy of Art University displays a strong connection to the
fashion industry with a wealth of information housed in its library as well as
a list of accomplished graduates. AAU is
known for art and expressing it professionally.
This helped Lakia make the decision to attend Academy of Art University. Due to world happenings Lakia is postponing her MA degree, though valuable information will be put to use.
Lakia
is known for her shy demeanor, but when she is comfortable the difference is
visible. She is another chick in the
world who is in love with fashion. Lakia is about world love, balance, open
mindedness and fun. In her free time, Lakia loves singing, dancing and
reading. She truly believes there's
always more to what meets the eye.
