Naballah Chi is an award-winning Fashion Designer and Visual Artist, born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago. She grew up surrounded by a family of creatives whose purpose, strength, and optimism inspired her from an early age. After graduating from The University of the West Indies with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies, Naballah realized her desire for creative exploration was not being fulfilled. It was then she decided to pursue her passion for design by enrolling in a Fashion Design program at The Caribbean Academy of Fashion and Design at the University of Trinidad and Tobago. From there, realizing she could have a career that blended her love of entrepreneurship with her desire for creative exploration, Naballah launched her eponymous brand in 2015. Drawing inspiration from her Afro-Caribbean heritage, Naballah creates stunning hand-painted textiles that blend contemporary design with age-old techniques. Her work reflects a commitment to sustainability, using organic fabrics and eco-friendly dyes to minimize environmental impact. From tailored to loose silhouettes, her artistic and thoughtful approach to fashion, mixed with her determination and creativity, has made her as a rising star in the fashion industry. A risk-taker at heart, Naballah continues to break from the fashion status quo as a Fashion Designer.
