Nullwun: A Second Life

What is a WRLD? And what is WholeWRLD? 

WholeWRLD isn’t just a brand—it’s a tag. Most importantly, it has no fixed meaning; it’s whatever you make it. It’s how you define and observe your world, your vision. It’s whatever brings you happiness—that’s your WRLD, and you make it part of the WholeWRLD.

What Is Ethan(Nullwun)'s WRLD?

“I would say my WRLD is giving clothes, I really love giving, and it's one of the reasons I love sewing."

Who is Ethan(Nullwun) ?

“My name is Ethan(Nullwun).” 

Ethan(Nullwun) is a lead fashion designer and founder of Nullwun based in Providence, RI. He shares his creations on the Nullwun instagram page and sells them through his growing Depop account with over 50 sold items. His dedication to the quality of his products has gained him a steadily growing customer base, Nullwun sits with an average of 5 stars on Depop with reviews admiring his skills.  

Ethan is a Massachusetts native who in his early life grew up in Brockton, MA. he shared a little about his upbringing telling WholeWRLD, “Originally I’m from Massachusetts but my most important years were growing in Rhode Island." Growing up Ethan always had an affinity for music, cooking, and fashion, and as long as he can remember the people in his life have shaped the vision  he has for himself. "Even if you don’t acknowledge it your family and your friends play a big role in shaping you, my sister is a designer and my brother a graphic designer-most of my friends have their own niches as well. It gives me a little motivation to do the same so shoutout all them." 

When surrounded by so many niches it was bound he found his own. For as talented as he is his passion for creating custom clothing has only truly kick started, “My passion for creating clothes started around 2 years ago now, I love giving clothes another chance, especially for other people to enjoy, I really love giving, it’s one of the reasons I love sewing." 

Ethan, as stated before had an affinity for fashion since an early age. When speaking about his fashion icons currently he listed notable names. "I look up to many icons in the fashion scene but a few that stand out from the other to me is Eforenything, D&G and Helmut Lang." Fashion has been such a precious thing to Ethan that it has simultaneously been ingrained into his life. He remarks "Fashion blends into my life everyday, inspirations everywhere literally."

I asked Ethan what his long time goal was for Nullwun, "My long term goal to eventually grow Nullwun I want it to be a second job-doing something I love and giving back to people. "  Giving back has been a big topic with Nullwun, it's a fundamental build on who the founder is.  He let me pick his brain-asking where he saw his brand in 5 years "In 5 years I still want to be sewing maybe it’ll be a side thing-but definitely will be a bigger brand by then. I hope the things I make help people start a deeper dive into their styles- help explore your boundaries you know."

The statment he wants Nullwun to encapsulate is "to show that you don’t need access or money to create something that’s been on your mind."

So much hard work, time, and effort went into Nullwun, Ethan's dedication and love for fashion as well as helping people find themselves through fashion is why I believe Nullwun will be here to stay.
