Born in London in 1973, Nerida Fraiman has had her own Fashion Accessories label since 1997.
Her career started in 1995, with a two-year apprenticeship with Philip Treacy. As Apprentice to the Couture Collections, and as Head of Production for the Ready To Wear Collection, it was here that she perfected the craft of millinery.
After launching her own label in 1997, Fraiman moved to Paris, where her designs were received with much enthusiasm. It was during this time that she created the highly acclaimed feather headpieces for the Paris National Opera.
Returning to London a year later, her Collections were bought by Harvey Nichols, Fortnum & Mason, Fenwick, The Cross, Koh Samui and The Fashion Gallery.
In 1999 she received 1st Prize in the Debenhams/R.C.A. Hat Competition, and 1st Prize in the Omega Competition. In 2000 she was awarded an M.A. in Accessory Design from the Royal College of Art.
Since then she has worked on designs for Furla, Sonja Nuttall, and the National Museum of Ireland, and collaborated with Tristan Webber on his Spring/Summer 2004 Accessories Collection. Nerida Fraiman has exhibited at London Fashion Week and her Collections continue to be sold in London at Harrods, Fenwick New Bond Street, Peter Jones, John Lewis Oxford Street and Selfridges.
