DALLAS, Apr 30, 2013/ — Inspired by the North Pole explorations of the 19th and 20th century, the Nicholas K Fall 2013/Winter 2014 womenswear collection flaunts neutral tones in wools, cottons, and prints reminiscent of the shades, shapes, and colors existent only in this chilling realm.
Fluttering fabrics evoke the essence of the harsh white blizzards to the deep hidden world of the Arctic Ocean.
Adding their own aesthetic to the utilitarian polar basics of the many explorers and natives comes the unique use of knitted raccoon hair, rich wool blends, light flowing knits, chunky plush sweaters, glacier hued plaids, angular cuts, and utilitarian closures.
The shifted drapery and asymmetrical tailoring allows for full-on layering of the soft fabrics while still emanating the exceptional palette of color in this collection drawn from the Arctic world.
