Loving the new Richard Nicoll's Laurel Wreath SS 2011 collection for Fred Perry. I love the soft vintage color palette and the fact that Ken Russell’s iconic portraits of 1950s teddy girls- dressed up in bootlace ties, drainpipes, pompadour haircuts, and attitude was what inspired Nicoll for this collection.
“I like the idea that something as conservative and traditional as a cameo brooch could become subversive in the right hands. From here we referenced my acid colour blocked SS09 sportswear influenced collection and added old-fashioned elements like pointelle cardigans and mother of pearl laurel brooches for branding. I also mixed sport jersey with lurex piqué and brocade cottons to create a clash of sport and traditional 50’s couture elements in dynamic but recognisably 50’s colours such as eau de nil and peach” – Richard Nicoll, 2010.The collection is now available at fredperry.com.
