The MOCHA Butterfly

MOCHA (Manifesting Our Creative Hidden Abilities) This line of clothing celebrates the doors that lead to creativity. For many, those abilities have been hidden inside for a long time. People from all walks of life possess the ability to be creative. Many times, our creativity may have been hidden from us because we have not tapped into the possibilities of what is in store. The MOCHA Butterfly has been established to be an inspiration to those who recognize their creativity and those who are on their way.

Designer

Nikki Walker Warren was born and raised in Tulsa, OK. She grew up in a home where her mother worked as a seamstress and fashion was the focus of her business. Nikki observed closely as she began to pick up some of the skills and interests her mother performed. She watched fashion shows on television and participated in several fashion shows in the local community. Her interests were so strong in fashion that in the 5th grade, when designer labels became household names, Nikki would create her own designs and styles with clothing that was given to her by friends and family members.

Over time she obtained a degree in Communications with an emphasis on Broadcast Journalism and began her career as a reporter for the local newspaper, but her passion still lied with fashion and after a couple of years in her original career field, while living in Washington, DC, she decided to take a risk and start her own line of clothing. She began her venture with the start-up capital of $100. She purchased a sewing machine from a local thrift store and began sewing a denim skirt line which she sold to friends and co-workers. Since then, she has expanded her denim skirt line into garments that fit most body types. Her love of denim continues as she incorporates denim in most of her designs.

Nikki’s designs are inspired from a global perspective with a touch of chic colors and shapes that can accommodate most body types, thus naming the look Global Chic.
