The British Fashion Council will commemorate the late designer Richard Nicoll during London Fashion Week, with a bespoke colour called, “Nicoll Blue”. The colour was chosen by his close friends and developed by the Pantone Colour Institute as a special tribute to the designer’s work. According to Sarah Mower, BFC ambassador for emerging talent, he registered his affinity for the spectrum of blues hundreds of times in the collections he showed in London.

“Nicoll Blue” will be seen throughout the Store Studios, the central hub of LFW, as a way to remember and celebrate the designer. The main entrance has been painted in the shade and the BFC has announced plans for a retrospective of Nicoll’s work, which will be mounted later this year. In addition, there will be a minute of silence observed just before the start of the Central Saint Martins MA runway show at the BFC Show Space on Friday 17th February.
