Where Heritage Walks the Runway
At NOVA BLVD, fashion is not just worn—it is witnessed. It is a memory resurrected, a revolution stitched in spirit, a rebirth draped in boldness. Founded in 2021 by Nigerian designer Akor Isioma Sandra, NOVA BLVD is more than a label—it’s a sanctuary of self-expression, where African heritage meets high fashion, and every silhouette tells a story older than words.
Rooted in the heart of Rivers State and inspired by ancestral Igbo wisdom, Sandra channels the strength of generations into wearable art. From ceremonial motifs to sacred symbols, her creations are more than clothes—they are relics reborn. Each thread whispers of identity. Each garment carries the rhythm of the past, sculpted with modern precision.
The name NOVA BLVD is a metaphor in motion: NOVA, meaning new—a spark, a beginning; BLVD, a path—a journey of becoming. Together, they form a design philosophy that celebrates the intersection of past and future, earth and spirit, body and soul.
To wear NOVA BLVD is to walk in remembrance and rise in reinvention.
