THE INSPIRATION BEHIND NANI MAKANI

Shaped by connection. Guided by excellence. Rooted in community.

At NANI MANANI we know that true excellence does not happen in isolation. It grows through dialogue, shared values, and the strength of community.




PRINCESS EDITHA DUSSLER PONIATOWSKI


To the world, Editha was one of the very first top models. To Konstanze, she is not only a beloved muse but also her dearly loved aunt and a lifelong inspiration. Together, they traveled the globe, and through Editha, Konstanze was deeply influenced by her sensitivity and natural affinity for true beauty.

Editha thrived on the international stage, especially in Paris during the 1960s and 70s, embodying elegance and grace. The iconic Vogue photograph from 1966 captures her timeless allure and poise. Beyond that, she appeared on countless covers and editorials, many of which hold special memories for Konstanze, our founder.

Editha was an icon. She understood the art of presence, the power of authenticity, and the essence of refined sophistication. Her legacy continues to inspire NANI MAKANI, reminding us that true beauty is both natural and enduring.

THE POWER OF PANOS


PANOS GOTSIS / Creating Higher Values
Panos Gotsis is not only a dear friend, he is a role model and a lasting source of inspiration.

From the very beginning, he believed in the vision of NANI MAKANI and gave us the confidence to trust in this journey. His unwavering support and clarity have helped shape who we are today. We are united by shared values: a commitment to meaningful beauty, deep respect, and environmental responsibility.

With his own label, PANOS GOTSIS, he brings his signature sophistication and integrity to the world of fashion and beyond. Much like us, he is driven by the pursuit of excellence, offering high-end quality for discerning individuals.
We are proud to walk this path alongside him.

CAMERON SILVER

A caftan and a fan, an exquisite symbiosis, two fashion twins united in elegance and individuality.

There are moments in life that feel serendipitous, almost like a scene from a timeless fairy tale. Our first encounter with Cameron in Berlin a few years ago was one such moment. We were immediately captivated by his radiant aura, infectious positivity, and genuine warmth.

Cameron embodies a rare blend of sophistication and charisma that elevates every room he enters. His unique style and magnetic presence perfectly complement the refined spirit of NANI MAKANI, making the relationship not just natural but inevitable.

Together, they represent more than fashion, they are a celebration of self-expression, artistry, and timeless elegance.
