Behind the Seams: Meet Addy Brennan, the lore Behind More From Nova Lore

Welcome to Behind the Seams, the official blog of More From Nova Lore, where fashion becomes storytelling and every thread carries meaning. I’m Addy Brennan, founder, designer, and lifelong fabric fanatic.

Tank from the Scientific Silhouette Collection

I grew up in Brooklyn and now live in sunny Florida, but my creative journey started long before the move. I’ve been sewing since I was seven, almost 20 years of stitching, drafting, and dreaming. Over the years, fashion became more than just a skill; it became a language. And that’s what More From Nova Lore is all about.

So, What Is More From Nova Lore?

More From Nova Lore (or MFNL for short) is a sustainable fashion brand dedicated to creating elevated statement pieces that tell a story. We don’t just make clothes, we make wearable narratives. Unique one of one pieces get you excited to share the lore when asked about what you're wearing.

• Our public collections are made-to-order and thoughtfully designed.

• Our private drops bring back fan favorites with limited availability.

• And our custom pieces are one-of-a-kind garments created to reflect your personal story.

Every piece is designed by hand, sewn with intention, and rooted in values of slow fashion, sustainability, and meaningful self-expression.

The Nova Lore Ethos

I believe you should never have to choose between beauty and purpose. That fashion should be as bold, intricate, and evolving as the people who wear it. More From Nova Lore is inspired by astrology, history, mythology, and the quiet power of detail.

Whether it’s a fiery, zodiac-themed tracksuit or a beach-ready dress inspired by American traditional tattoos, our garments are designed to turn heads and spark connection. We celebrate individuality and craft for people who don’t just want to wear clothes — they want to wear art.

Why Slow Fashion? Why Now?

The fast fashion industry thrives on excess. But at MFNL, we’re reclaiming intention. With nearly two decades of hands-on experience, I’m committed to quality craftsmanship, small-batch production, and environmentally-conscious design.

Made-to-order means less waste.

Personal storytelling means more meaning.

Handmade means every piece is a legacy.

What’s Next?

Right now, we’re working on our debut collection: Elements I, a seasonal, zodiac-inspired series exploring fire, earth, water, and air through fabric and silhouette. Think Grecian spring dresses, tattoo-style beachwear, and bold, fiery athletic sets.

I’m also accepting a limited number of custom requests, so if you’ve ever dreamed of having your life or energy captured in couture, now’s your moment. Contact us today!
