I have hand picked four looks from Nicole Miller's show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week that exemplify the collection. The looks below tell a story of an epic battle, a war that has been waged in the fashion industry for quite some time now; the fight between couture and ready to wear. The pieces below show an influence from both sides of the playing field within a close enough proximity to each other to actually work cohesively. The line collection still flows and meshes quite well but there are obvious influences in the pieces from both ready to wear and couture. The ready to wear looks are extremely wearable and cater more to the commercial crowd than a die hard avant gardé connoisseur. While the looks with the avant gardé twist may only tickle the fancy of the extreme fashion critics, they should fit right into the closet of someone who isn't an extremist but also doesn't mind paying a little more for some quality cloth.
Enjoy the looks:
