Nicholas K – Fall 2012 – Power of Contradiction

The Nicholas K Fall 2012 collection was another strong example of the labels increasingly recognizable signature style. All the elements one would expect were in evidence; the layering, the rough textures, the creative cuts and treatments. The soul of any Nicholas K design is a transfixing intersection of rawness and creative construction. Every single piece that walked down the runway in this, the very first of the official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2012 shows, was loaded with elements and details that dew the eye. There were thin fabrics in long cuts that created life and movement, and these were layered under rough knits, wools, and leathers.
