Richard Nicoll is a young Australian, London-based fashion designer. He graduated in 2002 from Central St. Martins with an MA in womenswear, and his graduation collection was bought by Dolce & Gabbana. He was subsequently awarded a bursary to set up his own label. For this he has developed a distinctive technique that explores a method of twisting fabric combined with draping influenced by Madame Gres. This results in a sculptural aesthetic to his collections. Nicoll has collaborated with photographers Jason Evans and Norbert Schoerner and has worked freelance for Lanvin, and LVMH in Paris. He has shown his collections at Osaka Fashion Week, Japan and Fashion East, in London, finally showing on the main schedule of London Fashion Week in 2005, where he continues to show.
