Nickoline & Mattiel

My favorite part of my process is truly in the act of making something new that I finish and as soon as I put it on, feel that it’s special. There’s a rush, that turns into love, but nothing beats that first moment of allowing yourself to acknowledge your creation, and to feel proud of it, too. I want to build this rush into the feeling of how Nickoline is experienced. By releasing one piece at a time, available immediately and open to commissions for custom reinterpretations of the silhouette, as the original fabric may be limited to the first edition based on availability of the textile. I work with vintage, antique, dead stock and up-cycled materials and the volume widely varies from scraps to 15+ yards.

 Look No. 1 — Re-married

 Look No. 2 — Resurrection

This Piece is called Resurrection, as it was the first piece I draped under Nickoline that felt right for this new world. In many ways, this gown represents a reignition of vitality in myself and in my work. There is a vulnerability in the black sheer silk and raw edges, delicately held together by two points at the shoulder and high waist.

This silhouette is available for Custom Reinterpretation through our Atelier.

Look No. 3 — Mattiel

These pieces are inspired by my dear friend and artist I deeply admire, Mattiel. The silhouette was created for a special evening in NYC as she performed with Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. These pieces to me embody an artists subtle shift and movement towards embracing feminity, with celebratory reveals and a soft structure that frames the body.

The Split Skirt is listed for Made to Order in the Nickoline Store & this set is available for Custom Reinterpretation through our Atelier.

 Look No. 4 — Era’s End

Era’s End translates the transitional phase, acknowledging movement from one big piece of life to the next. In the past year, I’ve experienced many changes in myself and in my relationships. This piece is about accepting those changes and being grateful for time passed. The sheer brown crushed silk resembles human as one with nature.

This silhouette is available for Custom Reinterpretation through our Atelier.

Look No. 5 — Kiki

This piece is for my Mother, Kecia, or Kiki for those who have ever experienced her warm and vibrant soul. The volume celebrates movement of the body claiming space and shapes create a presence of true comfort; a silhouette that feels free to and welcoming of what life has to offer.
