For the Fall 2013 collection, Nicole Miller took inspiration from “girls who dress like boys”. And while there is a menswear influence, the designs were far from masculine. The collection consisted of sleekly tailored silhouettes in a deep, textured color palettes. Menswear inspired looks were juxtaposed with feminine fabrics, prints, and leather and fur accents.
While in previous seasons dresses dominated the runway, I was happy to see more of a focus on pants — as she has some of the most flattering skinnies on the market. Also the jackets stole the show — the prints and fits from both fitted zip-ups to long coats with fur trims had me swooning. Her collection of knit sweaters with the deep twists we’re gorgeous as well.
