NATHALIE LOMA is a designer with passion and a love for transforming lives through her designs. As a young child she learned to sew from her mother in Cameroon and fell in love with fashion before moving to the United States to pursue her education. Eventually Nathalie’s love of fashion became her career. She believes that every fabric has a voice, and it is her calling to listen and design the right garment for each woman.

Who is your role model?

My mother is my role model because I saw her determination to succeed against all odds. With all her responsibilities she never let anything demean her spirit and instilled confidence in her loved ones. Watching her sew was magical and she showed me what it means to have fabric fall in love with my hands.

How do you impact your clients?

I know my clients understand my love for fashion and when they put their trust in me to design for them, I know they feel empowered and confident. I can only hope that they maintain that feeling of empowerment and allow their authentic selves to navigate life with faith.

What is your fashion style?

I don’t have a specific style. I dress according to the feeling of expression. I may wake up feeling the color pink and that would decide my choice for that day.

What advice would you give to future Power Women?

Don’t follow the trends. Make your own statement and stick by it. It’s so easy to fall into the trap or copy what others are doing. Just remember YOU are unique and there is no one like you in the world.
