To walk through the doors of NWL on 1853 Hamilton is to walk onto the canvas of an impressionist artist awaiting your arrival. The bright white walls are adorned with an endless palette of color, sparkle, and texture.
She walks along the rows of dresses, touching the fabrics, letting them roll off her fingertips. She can’t help but imagine the stories that are yet to be lived in each dress.
She imagines being a bride in a dreamy white gown, the soft fabric draping over her body, wistfully dancing off the ground with each step that she takes toward her future. She studies her silhouette with a discriminating eye, lost in the moment of what’s possible in this dress.
“I love dresses, but more than that, I love seeing the joy they bring to my clients. It’s like all their hopes and dreams come to life when they see themselves in a gown”, says Nadia Williamson, owner.
NWL is a vision of beauty, a canvas where splashes of color and texture come together to create the stuff of which dreams are made.
The NWL experience is influenced by Nadia’s love for impressionist art and the movie industry, where fashion brings stories to life on screen and in life.

"Each and every dress is a work of art unto itself."
“These dresses need to be architecture. The craftsmanship and the detail that goes into creating these dresses is nothing short of amazing. The designers know a woman’s body and how to FIT it.
They know us and how we want to feel when we step into an evening gown, a wedding dress or a cocktail dress.”
