Niki’s love for prom dresses stems from fond memories of her experiences with the ultimate high school event. “I love prom because it was my most enjoyable night growing up,” says Livas. Her inspiration for every collection is based in recreating for every teen the magical feeling she felt dancing the night away with her own prom date.

Niki has been designing prom dresses for more than 30 years. She is now head designer for Zum Zum, Zum Zum Boutiques, Niki by Niki Livas and Niki Livas Red Carpet.

Niki is a graduate of NY’s Fashion Institute of Technology and recipient of the Alumni Star Salute Award in 2001.
