Wendy Nichol

  • Handmade romanticism
  • Corseted dresses
  • Punk-inflected minimalism

Wendy Nichol established a following for geometric jewelry and fringed bags before presenting her first clothing collection for Spring 2012. Her New York practice connects handmade construction with urban practicality and a romantic streak, moving from pared-back separates to corseted dresses, delicate fabrics and personal symbols.
