Naomi
Ngoma-Simunyola is the designer and founder
of Nayfashions.com. Born in Lusaka, Zambia,
Naomi has lived in the United States since
she was thirteen.
She
has a bachelors degree in Finance and International
Business from NYU and a masters in Banking/Securities
from Mercy College. She began designing
as a hobby, but decided to showcase her
work in July 2003 at her very first fashion
show. With the success of the show she has
ventured online starting Nayfashions.com.
Naomi
began designing in African print because
she felt there were no African designers
out there catering to her peers’ sense of
style. Her designs infuse her African culture
and her western exposure, exploring the
young, sexy and elegant side of African
fashion.
Naomi
currently resides in Bronxville, New York
with her husband, Mpande Simunyola and daughter
Soleil.
