Nadja Bill is a fashion designer and a certified stylist, image and color consultant, who was born in Russia, lived in Holland, France and is now residing in Switzerland.

Nadja has come through a transformation out of the pretense required by social conformity into embracing the true power of the feminine. She creates clothes and styles, which convey the timeless feminine beauty in its essence.
Every woman is an inspiration, whether she is an artist, a warrior, a sex symbol, a style icon, an activist, a mother, a daughter, a sister, or at her core pure love itself, mother earth.
Her clothes are for women that love to express their feminine authentic nature, who appreciate the finest quality of materials and who want to step out of the shadow and feel divine and proud of who they are under the layers of stereotypes. Through her designs she wants to give women self-confidence to access their femininity and to regain the freedom of full self-expression.
She chooses the finest textiles, makes truly unique handprints, and in each and every design she accentuates the feminine shape, bringing out the female flower, which is in every woman, if we let it blossom.

Latest Collection

INTO ME SEE

This collection is a reflection of my soul searching for authenticity. It
transcends pretendence. It is about acceptance of all parts of ourselves and
allowing vulnerability, being delicate. This collection takes what is on the inside
and it makes it visible on the outside, as our external reality is always
an expression of our inner state.
The collection started with awareness, at an emotional level, and of
thoughts and beliefs. It grew from the process of slowing down and going
inward. Japonism directly inspired the creations with its long-established
practice in concepts such as self-care, tenderness to ourselves,
gratitude, awareness and acceptance. Japonism especially inspired the collection
with its emphasis on the beauty and importance of impermanence and
imperfection (wabi sabi), its flower arranging art (ikebana), the tea rituals (ocha)
and bathing (onsen). Self-expression through fashion can also be approached as
a ritual, and in this collection, this makes it magical.
The Kimonos in this collection, inspired from Japonism, flatter every
body. To wear them is effortless. It is as donning floating wings, or sails to
transport you to the next dimension. They flow and move as your energy does,
fluidly and spontaneously. They have an ethereal quality representing the
magical, miraculous qualities that surface the deeper into ourselves we dive.
The transparency reflects true authenticity – the expression of the authentic self,
without shame or embarrassment, but with gentle, knowing confidence, joy, and
pride that the divine feminine must express for humanity to rise to the next level.
If I present the question: what qualities would the last outfit you wear
have? How would it feel? How would it move?
The words that jumped directly into mind are exquisite fabrics, that move
and flow flexibly and gracefully with a lightness of touch and movement. These
pieces are a unique combination of style and substance that express the natural
and effortless expression of inner beauty on the outside. They reflect the depth of
the spirit, while they are worn lightly on the surface of the body.
