Nikita turn 10 & celebrate with coffee table book 'Sideways Sistas' on girls who ride

Iceland's Nikita clothing celebrate 10 years with a coffee table book on girls who ride

Iceland streetwear brand Nikita are celebrating their tenth anniversary in 2010 with another original marketing idea: a 200 page coffee table style book on girls who ride dubbed Sideways Sistas by local designer and editor Thordis Claessen (who created Icepick). But, in addition to the pictures and articles from Nikita's first decade, girls from across the globe are asked to submit editorial ideas - i.e. you.

You've got until April 30 to submit pictures, photos, words, drawings or anything else you want to share with fellow female riders - and the shred industry as a whole. This is also a chance to get your talent spotted.

Keep reading for further details on the project and inspiration after the jump...

Here's the press release from Nikita in full:

The project begins now and it begins here! The book will celebrate and portray the lifestyle of the Nikita girl; in photos, words, poems, graphics and art, or in any which way possible. The layout of the book will be in a scrapbook style, quite raw and graphic based, edited by an Icelandic girl. She has been a lifetime Nikita customer, snowboarder, skater, graphic designer and has already produced her own book, Icepick, about the Icelandic street art scene, that Nikita helped publish nearly two years ago. Her name is Thordis Claessen.

Along with stories, people and pictures from the depths of Nikita’s archives, Nikita would like to dedicate the rest of the content to all girls who ride. Grab the opportunity to tell your own story, what you love, what you do and what Nikita means to you. Any form of entry is acceptable – this will be a coffee table book to truly represent the Nikita girl, a book about her life and something hopefully all will want to be a part of.

The story of how Nikita came about and the brains behind it, Heida Birgisdottir, the founder and head designer of the company will also be included. “Nikita has a huge fan base and really values the comments, support and input we have received from girls spanning the globe who love what we do. This will be a chance for us to say thanks and celebrate the last 10 amazing years with them too.” - Heida
