Richard Nicoll S/S 2015

Richard Nicoll said he was thinking about our work-life balance for spring. The Australian designer therefore offered up a plethora of lifestyle options that ranged from bias-cut, 1990s satin sheaths, aimed squarely at after hours mingling, to open-weave, chunky knits layered over jersey athletic pieces, which appealed to our post-workout needs. Teaming up with British activewear company Sweaty Betty, Nicoll merged his softly draped suiting - this season elongated, sari-style - with sportif grey marl separates that later partnered up with hyper-coloured, holographic anoraks. These were, depending on your frame of reference, part gym bunny, part club kid, and nicely linked to his opening fibre optic, techno-disco slip dress - the result of a high tech collaboration with Disney. (Think Tinkerbell en route to Pacha.) But given that the great race is on for fashion brands to show their best moves within this lucrative lifestyle category, (Net-A-Porter alone has a whole new dedicated platform), Nicoll was smart to jump right into the sporting swing of things for spring.
