Richard Nicoll Fall 2011: Modern Sport
Richard Nicoll called out the 1920s and sport as Fall 2011 inspirations, and you could see those references in his silhouettes–dropped waists, baseball jackets, raglans, and drawstrings. But there’s an elegance to Nicoll’s clothes that only fine silk crepes and satins–cut with the utmost rigor–can confer. The high neckline was quite directional–we’re bound to see more dresses and blouses move upward. And the trains–cut at sharp, 90 degree angles–brought a discipline to the style not seen on other runways.
