NIKI TELJEGA

An in depth interview with Australia’s latest fashion queen
Niki: Fashion design is a hard
industry, if your prepared to loose a lot
of sleep, work long hard hours, hand
out dead money, and just keep fighting
for what you want, then eventually
you will get there. Remember it takes
around 5 years or hard solid work for
any business to get anywhere, and iv
seen a lot of good fashion talent give up
because it didn’t happen over night. My
advice is to never give up, keep fighting
for what you want, and one day you
will get there.

Never Give Up,
Keep Fighting
For What You
