About Forest Collection
Nish Niche, a New York luxury fashion brand, presents Forest—a new collection inspired by the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, finding beauty in imperfection; and, for this season, the forest. The collection includes cotton designer dresses, worsted wool pants, mixed-fabric shirts, twill skirts, and suede tops. Crafted in NYC from premium Japanese woven fabrics, each piece blends contemporary style with timeless elegance—modern fashion made to last and rooted in artistry.
This season we are thrilled to expand our woven product offerings to include knits - sumptuous baby alpaca wool from our sustainable manufacturing partner in Peru. We love these cozy, new sweaters for the colder months. You’ll be warm, stylish and ready for the season in these gorgeous cable knits.
