Richard Nicoll SS14

Initial reaction:

So fresh and so clean.

References:

Nicoll’s “band of elegant tomboys”.

Unexpected details:

Precise slits at the back of the ankle on a pair of grey cigarette trousers.

Progression:

As if Nicoll hit the refresh button on all his winning signature looks, taking his brand of ‘special normal’ towards a shiny future.

How they wore it:

Layered with sheers and an almost clinical sportiness.

Double take:

The graphic black and white striped dresses that turned out to be glittery Lurex up close.

Collaboration:

Linder lent her collage aesthetic to monochrome prints.

Location: 

An all-concrete basement loading bay at Regent’s University.

Quote of the show:

“Do you have any signal?” Twitter went very quiet for 25 minutes.

Invitation:

Lacquered in the same bubblegum pink shade that adorned the dresses and benches.
