Nalini Arora & Umi Kids began there design collaboration in 2008. Nalini was approached to provide new creative direction for the boys line. The mission was to bring playful designs, new color combinations, and fresh ideas to the existing boys line. After several seasons of having a successful track record in increasing the boys business, Nalini was asked to design parts of the girls division. New designs for Umi girls will be available A/W 10.
