ok so it was veryveryvery late for me to review about this but it's better to be late than never right? Ok so according to me, the show was a vibe, very RAD, uber-cool and beyond words. The atmosphere was OWOW. I was really enjoying it, i get to see and meet new people with different styles and personality. Ohya! since the show was held wayyy in the morning, the escalators and lifts was still OFF. Sooo i had tu walk to the 4rth floor with my 12cm heels :') yes amazing! The song playlist also made the whole show more awesome, the right song choice for the show. The show opened up with a slow low beat music and then continuing with a hard beat music. i know i shouldn't be talking about the song playlist , so here's the recap of the show

Nina Nikicio, the Creative Director behind Nikicio, has always admired skaterboarders. Be it the culture, the vibe, the movement; she’s fascinated by it. When Nina designed the Nikicio Mixte 07 collection, she had this particular girl in her mind; a laid back skater girl with effortless style, a nomad, a light-traveller. At the same time, Nina is also heavily inspired by trompe l'oile. Somewhere between the Baroque period and Elsa Schiaparelli, Nina made her own version of the Norwegian knit, scanned it and digital-printed it on silk; her medium of choice because she likes the irony of having something heavy printed on a light, luxurious fabric.
The print evolved into many different mediums; two sets of pajamas, a dress, a jacket, and even a scarf. The Mixte 07 collection was derived from that single idea, and later transformed into a full collection consists of easy, "get up and go out" clothes made of modal jerseys, soft baby goat and lamb leather, fine knitted cotton and wool, and also hand washed chambray and bleached denim.
Besides using the classic Nikicio color schemes such as black, grey and white, Mixte 07 adds an extra oomph with a Kandura ceramics. Kandura succesfully created porcelain beads made of bone china with transparent glaze for the outerwears and accesories, creating something heavy with a delicate beautiful feel to it. Effortless and dainty; that’s Nikicio Mixte 07 in a nutshell
