We wanted to share a little bit of the history of Nicholson & Nicholson, a collection we love for its classic feel and beautiful, many times crisp textures. The founders are a husband and wife team - Yusuke and Yuka Nakagawa. Yusuke grew up with his father owning a men's shop specializing in British and other European brands. The name Nicholson & Nicholson was used for the first shirt he created as an original item for his father's shop. Further down the line, this name became the name of his small collection that he created with his wife Yuka. During the formative years of their collection, Yusuke studied art history in Florence, Italy, and was inspired by the timeless beauty that was passed down from generation to generation. He wanted to integrate this idea into contemporary styles. Yuka was working as a buyer and was deepening her knowledge of fabrics, patterns and sewing at an apparel trading company. Together with all this experience, their interest lies in connecting tradition with modernity, and it really is felt in their collection. You can mix these styles with other pieces easily... it has a great versatility.

We love the turtlenecks, there is something about the way a turtleneck classically frames the face.  The grey one in the first photo is timeless, easy, goes with everything. It also comes in a russet brown that is like a deep burgundy. Both look great with navy. N & N also makse the heavier navy turtleneck in the second photo with a split neck detail at the foldover. It's gorgeous. The white blouse with a ruffle neckline would be so fun to layer with a crewneck - the navy Biggie Pullover from Eleph would be a great match! And the pants that Jettie is wearing in the photo with this white blouse are stunning and fit beautifully. A shop favorite! The coat in the last photo is a wonderful piece with its vintage feel. We love the way Linda Wright styled this a few weeks back with jeans, a beautiful scarf and loafers... not to mention a beautiful bag from her shop (Crimson Cashmere). 

It's all so fun - we are just loving all the fall collections we have received and will continue to share a bit more about the different designers <3
