Hold it together. And hold it together he did. Bull dog clip at the ready, Richard Nicoll took the idea of deconstructed style and gave it his own touch effortlessly. Reading the relaxed tailoring that fashion consumers are devouring at the moment gives this collection a whole new reason for succeeding, and without giving us a blazer that can be scrunched up to the elbows, he gave us other elements in the wardrobe that can otherwise reserve the right to generate excitement and took essential parts of them away. There was a comfortable mood surrounding this collection from the gray backdrop to the runway, to the red and blue use of velvet pulled out in references to red lips on applied t-shirt prints of women. Nothing sharp was there to interrupt the balance and so movement and grace took us right through the looks that will easily brighten up any work place scenario. Whether it was Nicoll's intention to keep his garments off the street, his reference to work wear is perhaps an expression of peeling away layers to depict other facets of people's personalities that traditional work wear generally inhibits at the best of times. Held in place.
