An air of old things made new kicked off Richard Nicoll’s show. The first few looks brought outerwear and bottoms that recalled the menswear of times past: cropped aviator jackets paired with high cut, pleated pants and bombers trimmed with fur and accented with leather panelling.

Then came the change: baggy leather shorts in pine green worn with a checked shirt and grey marle jumper, a silhouette that returned in various incarnations from here. Silk florals cast in oriental blues and reds punctuated the play-off between masculine and feminine, a game Nicoll is well versed in across both his mens and womens collections.

The Australian designer is, after all, a master of combining contrasting themes to craft effortless sportswear that speaks its own language. A final series of matching pastel looks capped this fact off, their translucence and ruffle detailing boldly advising us that Nicoll’s man waits for no trend.
