As the seasons prepare for a much needed and anticipated change, the fashion world brings in the fall season with a new addition. K. Nicole Couture. The innovative line is the creation of designers Kera Anderson and Nicole Styer. The duo set out to create a line that offered a mixture of ready-to-wear and couture pieced, with its tasteful selections of Italian prints and other luxury textiles. With the summer coming to a slow end, Anderson and Styer have a complete Fall/Winter collection that they are ready to share with the world.
Nicole Styer is the owner of N.R.S Boutique, a one-of-a-kind clothing and accessory store located in the heart of South Philadelphia. Styer's Boutique venture comes as a direct result of her artsy upbringing which was later followed by her pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fibers and Crafts from the University of Arts. Kera Anderson developed a close bond with Styer after becoming a regular at N.R.S Boutique, and frequently requesting custom-made pieces that were for her own closet. But Anderson has a sort of fashion experience that is not shaped by design schooling but rather a gift she dubs as an "eye for fashion."
Anderson and Styer came together to create a line that would accommodate the everyday working woman, the boss stepping out of the town car, and the woman, much like myself, who appreciates sophisticated style. The line vows to remain true to femininity but with a slight integration of edge with the designers grabbing inspiration from 16th century crown molding, costume wear, and royal charades. If you know me personally, you know that I live for 16th century patterns and inspiration. I'm always inspired by romance a royalty, therefore I am extremely excited about this line and what it will contribute to the fashion world as well as my person wardrobe *wink* lol.
The centerpieces of the Fall/Winter 2013 collection stand in the 16th century inspired jackets , all of which are seamed with the finest velvet and paisley textiles. It doesn't get any more romantic than that. I'm so intrigued by this collection, I see nothing but great things happening for these two ladies and their hard work.
The pair is now preparing to do a presentation of the collection on August 24th in Philly. They are optimistic about the outcome of their collection and sharing it with upscale boutiques, stylists, and independent buyers. Following the Fall/Winter presentation, K.Nicole will resume with trunk shows and continue to get people just as excited as they are about the brand.
