Founded in New York in 2025 by Lara Vai, Nai Studio is a minimalist clothing collection of curated closet fundamentals.

Nai elevates timeless staples, with a fresh perspective to suit the noir dreamer with intuitive craftsmanship and utility.

Each piece—grounded in form—fuses structure with ease to forge an austere yet coveted look.

Made in New York at our in-house studio, each piece honors slow fashion and longevity.

Released in limited batches and hand numbered by our team, our garments are cut from Italian and Japanese fabrics sourced from heritage mills with decades of craft behind them.


About the Designer


Vai, a creative director and multidisciplinary designer, brings a deeply considered perspective shaped by decades of experience across the luxury fashion system. Originally from Italy, she began her career at Dolce & Gabbana and Prada in the late 1990s before moving to New York, where she held roles at Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Theory.

Rooted in clarity, intention, and ease Vai presents a refined approach to contemporary womenswear.

“I wanted to create pieces that women can return to instinctively,” say Vai. “Clothing that feels natural, but still precise.”
