NEW YORK, Sep 6, 2012/ — With a star-studded front row, the Nicholas K Spring / Summer 2012 collection turned heads with its must-have “head gear” that were inspired by the hijab for women and the stocking cap for men.
With those as the must-have accessory, Nicholas K sent breezy, bohemian silhouettes of creamy leathers, ultra soft cashmere, silk satin, and mesh paneling.
Alongside 70’s visual staples, the geometrically layered and colorful yet restrained paintings of the Cubist/Expressionist painter Lyonel Feininger inspired this season’s collection.
As Feininger’s freely constructed paintings utilize hard lines only defined by soft tonal progressions, this collection retains utilitarian functionality while augmenting tones of fluxing colors, multifaceted cuts, and layers of lush fabrics to the designs. Added pops of bold geometric stained glass necklaces finish off this seasonal theme perfectly.
