Nicole Miller stuck to her formula this season, focusing on patterns and materials. "I wanted to do something really abstract," she explained. "There s no big theme here." This translated to draped dresses in bright digital prints, as well as futuristic shifts in dense Lycra cotton and a Lurex-raffia blend. The designer also looked beyond the usual sources for her fabrics. After donning a Tyvek jumpsuit to paint in during a charity event earlier in the year, she cut a dress in the same industrial material.
One piece of news: Miller s just-debuted Studio Beach collection, a separate year-round line of caftans, swimwear, and dashikis with a boho flair.
