NIFTY: Bold Steps Begin Now
A story. A platform. A new chapter.
NIFTY began as a novel about women questioning what comes next.
It is now becoming something bigger.
Created by Lena Benjamin, NIFTY: Bold Steps Begin Now explores reinvention, ambition, identity, friendship, work and the possibilities that emerge when we stop believing that life has to follow a predetermined path.
But NIFTY doesn’t end on the final page.
It is becoming a platform for women and non-binary people who are ready to question what comes next, embrace change and take bold steps into their next chapter.
From business and fashion to experiences, products and future ventures, NIFTY is creating opportunities to turn ideas, experience and ambition into something new.
What’s Next for NIFTY?
NIFTY is developing into a commercially focused creative platform with opportunities across four connected areas.
NIFTY Business
Your experience has value. What could you do next?
NIFTY Business will support women 50+ who are ready to develop an idea, start something new, reinvent their working life or turn their experience into a business opportunity.
Future opportunities will include:
- Strategic business consultations
- Business development and commercial strategy
- Workshops and masterclasses
- Reinvention and entrepreneurship programmes
- Opportunities to develop and test new business ideas
- Connections, collaborations and partnerships
Because your next chapter could become your next business.
NIFTY Fashion
Pre-loved. Reworked. Reimagined.
NIFTY Fashion will explore a more considered approach to what we wear next.
Beginning with carefully selected pre-loved and reworked pieces, the NIFTY fashion concept will explore how existing clothing can be restyled, adapted and given a new life — creating distinctive pieces for women who want their clothes to reflect who they are now.
Over time, NIFTY will explore its own sustainable fashion collections and collaborations.
Wear what comes next.
NIFTY Experiences
More than something to read. Something to experience.
NIFTY Experiences will bring the ideas behind the book into real life through curated events, conversations, workshops and creative experiences.
Expect opportunities to:
- Meet interesting people
- Explore new ideas
- Share experience
- Learn something new
- Discover new opportunities
- Collaborate
- Have conversations that might lead somewhere
From intimate gatherings to workshops and special events, NIFTY experiences are designed around connection, curiosity and possibility.
Come curious. Leave with possibilities.

The ambition is to develop partnerships and ventures that can take the NIFTY concept beyond the original novel and into new creative and commercial spaces.
This includes exploring the development of NIFTY as a film, sustainable fashion opportunities and collaborations with people and organisations aligned with the NIFTY vision.
