Nicholas K Fall 2013

The design sibling duo have pulled inspiration for their fall 2013 collection from the époque of the Arctic explorations in the late 19th to early 20th century.  What is so inspirational about that? 
The warmth of the sun on an unforgiving landscape, ice capped oceans, swaying vegetation, the grey barren earth...all of these together have brought together the array of tones, textures, colors and most importantly, the mood of the collection. 
Into the depths of the ice-capped oceans spears of light ignite the deep blue and wild green aura of the swaying vegetation clinging to the grey barren earth. Above the white ice-plateaus reaching to the coasts are the exposed tops of pale mammoth glaciers marbled in hues of blue, grey, and white.

Nicholas K Spring 2013

For the first time ever, I was invited to the opening show of  New York Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2013, Nicholas K.  The brother/sister duo's 'Soylent Green' collection was very natural, neutral, and organic. 

Inspired by the sci-fi 70s film that predicted a dystopian future for New York in 2022, "It had this futuristic, nomad feeling that was interesting for us since we're really organic in our lifestyle," Nicholas Kunz told ELLE. "It talks about how there are all these technological advances, but people are reverting back to pureness and a minimalistic life."

With 61 looks mainly made up of beige, caramel and the occasional burnt orange piece, Nicholas K stayed true to their natural style...and I, completely loved it for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2013 season.
