Richard Nicoll S/S10

I didn't discover the designer Richard Nicoll until his autumn/winter 2008 collection, but his Spring/Summer collection shown yesterday feature some very pretty dresses. Although it doesn't excite me as much as his autumn winter collection did, I still see some good pieces in his collection.
The collection began on a slightly dark note with browns and light greys, with a sort of floral motifs that remind me of wallpaper, but in a good way. Dresses then became tribal with tassells and brown embellishments.
The collection then lightened to teal and rose colours with pink tassells replacing the browns.

These are my favourite dresses from the collection. I love the contrast between the structured bodice and the draped skirt. I find the nude coloured dress very sweet and almost delicate despite having this structured element.
Altogether a good collection but I liked a/w08 the best.
