Last Sunday, a vibrant artistic event unfolded, sponsored by Blankstyle, featuring the unique talents of Nicole Tiedman, the creative force behind The Laughing Geisha. This gathering was not just an event but a celebration of art, identity, and culture. Blankstyle proudly provided various hats and tote bags, which became canvases for decoration and expression during this inspiring event.
Nicole Tiedman, an artist with a richly blended heritage, is the heart and soul of The Laughing Geisha. Growing up half Japanese and half White, Nicole navigated the complexities of her identity, finding solace and expression in art. Her brand, The Laughing Geisha, is more than a clothing line; it’s a journey into self-love and cultural exploration.

During the event, Nicole shared her story, a tale of challenges and blessings intertwined. Her art, influenced by her dual heritage, offers a unique aesthetic, blending traditional Japanese elements with modern streetwear. Her journey from an economics student at NYU to a celebrated artist is a testament to her resilience and passion for creativity.
The event, held during Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, was particularly poignant. Nicole’s recent work includes a live-painted mural at The Beverly Center in honor of AAPI Month, an experience she describes as emotionally transformative. This event was a continuation of her commitment to embracing and advocating for her heritage through her art.
Guests at the event were treated to a display of Nicole’s screen printing and painting skills, as they watched her transform Blankstyle’s hats and tote bags into works of art. Each piece reflected her unique vision, blending traditional Japanese motifs with the urban flair of contemporary streetwear. Participants also had the opportunity to engage with the art, adding their personal touches to the items provided by Blankstyle.
Nicole’s work with The Laughing Geisha is a powerful narrative of self-discovery through art. Her designs are more than just clothing; they are stories woven into fabric, tales of her journey, challenges, and triumphs. The event underscored her core goal – to reveal more of herself through her brand and to connect deeply with her audience.
Blankstyle’s collaboration with The Laughing Geisha symbolizes a fusion of creativity and cultural pride. It was an event that transcended mere artistic expression, becoming a platform for dialogue on identity, heritage, and the power of storytelling through art.
As Nicole continues to evolve and her brand, The Laughing Geisha, grows, her commitment to authenticity and vulnerability remains steadfast. This event was not just a showcase of her talent but an invitation to others to embrace their stories and identities, just as she has done through her art.
Nicole’s journey with The Laughing Geisha is a powerful reminder of the courage it takes to be vulnerable and authentic. Through her art and fashion, she advocates for embracing one’s story and identity, and this event was a perfect embodiment of that ethos.
In conclusion, Blankstyle’s partnership with The Laughing Geisha was more than just a successful event; it was a celebration of art’s ability to tell stories, bridge gaps, and bring people together. Nicole Tiedman’s journey and her brand stand as a beacon of inspiration, encouraging everyone to find their voice and express it boldly and beautifully.
