About Nakimuli
Tennille McMillan founded Nakimuli in late 2009 in Brooklyn, taking the brand’s name from the Ugandan word for ‘flower.’ Known as ‘America’s Funky Sweetheart,’ the label fuses African-inspired prints, bold color, and avant-garde, funky-feminine silhouettes, worn by artists like Jill Scott, Jazmine Sullivan, and Danielle Brooks. Size-inclusive from S to 3X and ethically made in Brooklyn, Nakimuli has become especially known for its vibrant swimwear, and relaunched in 2024 with a renewed focus on artistic, size-inclusive design.
