What kind of fashion can be expected at the luxury label Wendy Nichol? Floor-length robes with a lot of tulle and more silk! The designs shine with thrilling light-dark contrast created by the extremes black and white. Almost every piece seems very somber, maybe because of the translucent fabrics, which covers the models’ faces. In general you can barely see any skin here. Only the arms and shoulder sometimes stay uncovered.
Soft silk meets almost translucent tulle fabric. While most of the straight-cut and lightly tailored dresses consist of silk, there are tulle accents at the arms or the skirt. Some designs are almost floor-length and some end and others are defined by a train.
The playful details also fit the sinister and sacral look, like the ribbon at the waist or the one around the neck. What exactly evoked this association? The crowns and the veiled faces, which almost reach the floor give me that impression. Especially the mystic look of the robes makes the wearer seem incredibly mysterious. The designs get an almost girly playfulness through lovely details like puffy sleeves.
While the few white dresses are designed in a rather simply, the black ones are more exciting and detailed. The refined look stands for the extravagance of the whole collection.
