Nova Lorraine – Founder & Creative Futurist of House of Nova

Nova Lorraine is an award-winning fashion designer, futurist, and brand storyteller pioneering a new era of emotion-driven, digital-native couture. With a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and a degree in Fashion Design from FIT, Nova blends behavioral science, immersive storytelling, and innovation to create work that people don’t just see—they feel.

As the visionary behind House of Nova, Nova is reimagining fashion as a multi-sensory, technology-enhanced art form. Her upcoming “Woven Dreams” presentation at New York Fashion Week will showcase this vision, offering a glimpse into how couture can transcend the traditional runway and ignite deeper human connection—without revealing its full experience ahead of the show.

A published author, Nova wrote the creativity and AI guide “The Jockey on the Horse – A Creative’s Guide to AI: How to Thrive and Increase Creativity in the Age of AI,” following her earlier book, “Unleash Your Supernova.” She also hosts two acclaimed podcasts: AI for Creatives and Unleash Your Supernova.

Nova’s insights and designs have reached global stages, including keynote and panel appearances at NFT.NYC, Paris Blockchain Week, AWE, PI Apparel, Digital Fashion Week, NY Tech Week, Immerse Global Summit, and Yale Blockchain Week, as well as guest lectures at Johns Hopkins, Penn State, University of Miami, and Hampton University. She also brought an immersive art and fashion activation to SXSW, expanding her exploration of multisensory storytelling.

Her work has been featured in Forbes, Inc., Essence, Italian Vogue, and The View. In 2024, Nova made history as the first impact fashion designer to have a creation land on the moon as part of the Lunaprise Moon Museum project. Named among the Top 100 Women of the Future and honored with the Metaverse Champion Award, LAMINA1 NFT Artist Award, and Web3 Creator Future Award, Nova continues to lead at the intersection of creativity, technology, and cultural impact.

Through House of Nova, she invites dreamers, makers, and visionaries to co-create thefuture—where couture meets consciousness, technology deepens connection, and every creation becomes a story to be worn, felt, and shared.
