AW10 - NiOka

Yes, womenswear (via Kingdom of Style)! Slovenian born Nika Radnik has shown her niOka line since 2008. Ms. Radnik sums up her line as follows:

niOka’s conceptual design is inspired by ‘the ugly and boring side of life’… niOka observes the insignificant details, mainly overlooked by others. In niOka’s world the lead story revolves around the colours and the patterns, upgraded by shapes. niOka’s design is defined as pompous minimalism, combining avant-garde simplicity with artistic craftsmanship, tender provocation and timelessness.

The AW10 collection, inspired by “(in)visible scars, emotional or physical, that can mark us forever,” featured wool knits, digital printing and saturated color with deconstructed shapes and tons of volume. Though Radnik describes her style as avant-garde, in this collection I see heavy play of art deco. This makes me happy. As do sweater coats. I’d wear everything in this collection.

Pompous minimalism is going to be my new mantra! Love it! But I actually think you have to be short to wear a sweater coat like that...
