September in NYC at the Nicholas K SS15 show
WOW! What a fantastic way to kick off spring/summer NYFW! Thank you so much Nicholas K for inviting me to your show. It was truly so amazing and inspiring.
Anyways, I apologize for not getting these posts up sooner but as I am sure you can tell this whole week has been a marathon! It’s hard to come back immediately and blog about it with the after parties and such.
So back to Nicholas K… I believe that the music has a lot to do with the presentation and story behind the collection and the first thing I noticed about this show was the bass and how perfectly the music went with this collection. The collection was very Moroccan inspired and the music just brought it further to life. I wish I would have shazammed the music but I was too busy drooling over this collection. I felt like I was being taken on a trip through out Morocco with an army of badass warrior princesses… if that makes any sense? I mean these girls looked like they were desert explorers ready to take over the world! It was like military chic meets Middle Eastern goddess. The collection consisted of neutral colors such as khakis, black, army green, whites, greys, and a little splash of teal blue. As much as I am all about color I LOVED the understated tones of this collection. It sort of made it that much more powerful feeling like a group of warriors’ uniforms. My favorite bits about the collection were the drapery of the shawls and sweaters, the mix of leather and textures, and the dramatic necklines. Other great parts were the leather shawls, scrunched-up cargo pants, harnesses and knee guards… you know I love my harnesses 😉
Bravo Nicholas K! I had a blast traveling with you through this amazing collection.
TREND ALERT: I would say two things to take away from this for SS15 is going to be FRINGE and side tied, loose fitting skirts. We have transitioned through the tight bandage skirt in 2009, to the skater skirt in 2012; now to the loosely side wrapped skirt for 2015. Keep your eye out for them!
I know my footage isn’t the best so if you want to check out the whole show head over to style.com to get the details!
