NIHL

NIHL is owned and founded by Artist and Designer Neil Patrick Grotzinger. Neil draws most of his inspiration from the concept of masculinity that saturated his Midwestern, suburban upbringing. Utilizing iconic American symbols as a tool for subversion, he intends to break down false perceptions of what it means to be, act or seem male. Neil studied fashion design at Pratt institute and the MFA program for Fashion Design and Society at Parsons New School for Design. He utilizes his skill set to infuse traditional separates with elements of couture craftsmanship in a way that consistently challenges stereotypes and hones in on an erotic sensation which he simply describes as “Masculine Effeminacy.”
