Nikita Majajas (Doodad and Fandango)
Nikita Majajas is the founder of label Doodad + Fandango and has worked in the fashion industry for 20 years. She handmakes colourful and playful pop art jewellery and decor from laser cut, laminated acrylic. Majajas’ work explores the intersection between art, fashion and activism and includes pieces supporting celebrating her queer community.
‘To me pink is the campest, queerest colour. Pink is absolutely queer.’
‘With my business, everything is instinctual. I make jewellery and I make objects and decor and artworks. Predominantly. I'm making things on a laser machine, and I'm using materials like acrylics and laminates and plywood and things like that; things that I can cut out on the machine.
My aesthetic is very pop art. I'd say lots of colour, lots of humour, lots of irreverence. And it all is a reflection on me and my aesthetic and my attitude to life. When I'm designing, I like to riff on an idea, so I'll often sort of spit out a collection.
