Showcasing theatrical fashion, the Nicholas K Spring 2013 Collection plays with silhouettes and layering.
Unexpectedly voluminous and almost entirely neutral, this ready-to-wear collection takes a decidedly rebellious approach to Spring 2013. For women, Nicholas K has played with textured silk and satin to create airy anoraks that seem fit for desert royalty. With pieces that are hybrid and multi-functional, the collection finds a delightful balance between being boundary pushing in its approach whilst remaining fashionably util.
For men, the theme of desert-chic continues with casual menswear that is disheveled and modish in the best possible way. The casual layering, unconventional lines and rugged appeal characterize Nicholas K's vision for Spring. With such an attention to detailed layering, you will probably find these dreamed up design beings sported whilst strutting in the Sahara.
