Nicole Lippman Bratt, aka Niki Lips, was born in the Bay Area and partially raised in Georgia by a mother from Nicaragua and a third-generation San Franciscan father. Eclectic is Niki’s middle name; well, actually, it’s now Lippman, but you get the picture.
Styling has always been a passion for Niki. As a child, many of her favorite toys centered around fashion & design. At the young age of 11, she became the lead wardrobe stylist for her middle school drama club. It was here that she first began to discover the transformative power that clothing carries. She continued wardrobe styling through high school, becoming a founding member of her high school's fashion club and cultivating her craft. Then, as an adult, while obtaining her psychology degree in San Francisco, she started personal styling for extra income, leading to a chance opportunity, wardrobe styling for a music video. It was then she realized how much she loved and missed wardrobe styling.
You can find her today, evolving traditional styling by combining her creative eye with her in-depth knowledge of psychology, fashion, and design theories. Niki goes above and beyond to empower her clients by selecting meaningful pieces to inspire confidence, change people’s moods, and help her clients achieve their goals, from ads to Zooms and everything in between. This talent on and off set has made her a sought-after stylist in multiple industries.
These days you can find Niki working freelance as a wardrobe and fashion stylist, and she remains a personal stylist to her beloved and ever-growing client list, from their everyday outfits to even their most memorable events, like their weddings. You can also catch her big-screen costume design debut in the soon-to-be-released short film Murder Camp.
