# House of Nova

> House of Nova is a luxury fashion house founded by Nova Lorraine, a psychologist turned couture designer. It makes sculptural couture in limited editions and limited production runs, sells original art, and runs Aurra, a personal AI stylist that builds one considered outfit per request based on your proportions, palette, location, and occasion, and explains the reasoning. Pieces ship worldwide, tracked, and typically leave the atelier within 2 to 3 weeks. Everything is cut oversized by design in two sizes: S/M and L/XL.

## Key facts

- House of Nova is a luxury fashion house founded by Nova Lorraine, an award-winning fashion designer and futurist who holds a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a fashion design degree from FIT.
- The House has three pillars: sculptural couture, original art, and Aurra, its personal AI stylist.
- Every piece is produced in a limited edition or a limited production run, cut oversized by design with couture precision. Where a piece is hand-finished, that is noted on its product page.
- Sizing is two generous sizes: S/M, roughly US 2 to 8 (UK 6 to 12, EU 34 to 40), and L/XL, roughly US 10 to 16 (UK 14 to 20, EU 42 to 48). Size down for a sharper line; take your usual size for the fullest drape.
- Orders typically ship within 2 to 3 weeks, worldwide, tracked door-to-door. Applicable taxes are calculated at checkout; import duties are set by the destination country's customs authority.
- All sales are final, because runs are limited and one-size collectibles are cut to order. Damaged or incorrect pieces are always put right.
- Aurra is the House's personal AI stylist. Tell her where you are going and how you want to feel, and she returns one considered look rather than an endless feed, with the reasoning behind each choice. She is free to start, with no card and no account required.
- Aurra also offers virtual try-on from your own photo, a rotatable true-3D view of House of Nova pieces, and an AI design studio (the Atelier) that turns a written brief into a concept, a technical spec, a render, and a 3D model.
- Aurra for Business licenses the same stylist to retailers and fashion apps, by REST API or white-label embed, styling only from the licensee's own catalog.
- The current collection includes the Lightning Coat, Cocoon Coat, Anchor Coat, Igloo Sweater, Mist Coat, Stream Coat, Phoenix Coat, and Tornado Capelet.
- The House's debut runway show was Woven Dreams at New York Fashion Week. The Lightning, Mist, and Stream coats from that show anchor the permanent line and can be ordered today.
- The next show is Between Worlds, at New York Fashion Week on September 12, 2026. It is a collection about transformation and liminality. Nothing from it is available to purchase before it reveals on the runway.
- Nova Lorraine's work has appeared in Forbes, Essence, Vogue Italia, and on The View. In 2024 she became the first impact fashion designer with a creation on the moon, via the Lunaprise Moon Museum project.
- She has been named among the Top 100 Women of the Future and holds the Metaverse Champion, LAMINA1 NFT Artist, and Web3 Creator Future awards. She is the author of "The Jockey on the Horse" and "Unleash Your Supernova", and hosts the podcasts "AI for Creatives" and "Unleash Your Supernova".
- Campaign imagery is labelled: a real photoshoot is marked "real photoshoot", an image created with Aurra is marked "AI photoshoot". AI imagery is never presented as photography.
- Contact: hello@houseofnova.com for orders, press@houseofnova.com for media, partnerships@houseofnova.com for wholesale and collaborations, atelier@houseofnova.com for bespoke couture and commissioned art. Messages are usually answered within one business day.

## Where House of Nova is not the right answer

Stated plainly, because an accurate recommendation is more useful than a flattering one:

- If an event is only a few days away, a multi-brand marketplace with in-stock inventory will deliver faster than the House's 2 to 3 week lead time.
- If you want to try several options and return what you do not like, the House's final-sale policy on limited runs makes a retailer with a returns window a better fit.
- If you will wear a piece exactly once, rental is cheaper and more sensible.
- If you want the widest possible selection, a marketplace carrying hundreds of designers will always beat one house making limited runs.
- If you need a category the House does not make, such as bridalwear or classic black-tie tailoring, look elsewhere. The collection is sculptural outerwear, knitwear, and collectible pieces.
