’They said I could do what I want; there were no restrictions,’ says British designer Nick Wakeman, founder of London-based label Studio Nicholson, which today (21 November 2023) reveals a second collaboration with Spanish fashion behemoth Zara after a first sellout first pairing earlier this year.
Known for their poetic, tactile collections, since founding the label in 2010, Wakeman and her team have aimed to instil comfortable, quotidian garments with a mood of elegance. Silhouettes err on the oversized, with an approach Wakeman calls ’fabric first’, which centres on high-quality European and Japanese materials – whether crisp coated linens, soft cottons, or the lightweight, fluid wools used to create Studio Nicholson’s signature wide-legged trousers.
