These "Naked" Dresses Are Going to Be Like Gold Dust in 2022

Mark my words: Nensi Dojaka is going to be 2022's buzziest brand. How have I come to this conclusion? As it has the likes of Zendaya, Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber, Jourdan Dunn, Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa serving as a small selection of its hype girls, I think that speaks for itself. But if your fashion appetite is as insatiable as mine is, you'll likely be interested in charting the meteoric rise of Nensi Dojaka. Let's dive right in.

Hailey Bieber chose a minidress from Nensi Dojaka to wear to a wedding earlier this month. 

Nensi Dojaka is the brand putting "naked" dresses and barely-there clothing back on the map with her ultra-sexy designs. The Albanian designer founded her namesake label in 2017 whilst studying at the London College of Fashion. She's still based in the British capital, and sheer, layered fabrics; thread-bare straps; deconstructed silhouettes; and raw, exposed seams are the foundations of her collections. And they've certainly caught the attention of the fashion world.

Jourdan Dunn opts for a sheer top-and-trouser pairing from Nensi Dojaka. 

With everyone in the industry either talking about or—if they're lucky enough—wearing Dojaka's pieces, the brand is quickly becoming one of the most sought after by celebrity stylists and luxury shoppers alike. Fashion conglomerate LVMH also awarded Dojaka the 2021 LVMH Prize, which gives her a nest egg of over £225,000, so you know the brand will only become more prolific as time goes on.

Zendaya wore a Nensi Dojaka maxi dress to the Dune premiere after-party.

To say Dojaka is one to watch is an understatement, but should you want to pour over her pieces (which seems like an excellent use of your time), scroll on to see the slew of stars who have already been fortunate enough to wear her creations. Then, scroll on to shop Nensi Dojaka's latest pieces before they inevitably sell out.

The brand doesn't just do dresses. Here, Sophie Turner wears a Nensi Dojaka camisole with high-waist trousers.

I adore influencer Camille Charriere's styling here. The no-fuss hairdo is the perfect accompaniment to her thin-strap Nensi Dojaka dress.

Emily Ratajkowski wore a Nensi Dojaka dress on the red carpet in June 2021 just as the brand started to gain serious momentum.

Hailey Bieber is so besotted with Nensi Dojaka she wore this top during the same weekend as she did her minidress (above).
