Nicole Bridger and Zoe Pawlak Work Together on Summer Collection: Ready for Love

Written by Colleen Tsoukalas (Treasure Seeker Colleen)

Love Nicole Bridger's collection of soft, silky dreamy colors and flattering fits.  This was a collaboration between the designer Nicole, and the artist, Zoe Pawlak.  Zoe created the landscapes an graphics and together, the two decided on the themes and integration of art upon fabric.  Nicole names her clothing and colors, for example, she uses the words "infinite" and "inspire"  and you'll see the words both in the labels and around the showroom or on the runway.  I found the word, :Challenge" right at the entry to the loft space event I was so fortunate to see, recently.  The first challenge, for me, was not to buy every piece, immediately!  The second was to take lots of time to walk by each model to survey the collection and then watch as models changed poses and then changed outfits and moved to different locations around the room.  As with most of Nicole's presentations, the event was continuous and scenes evolve so that as you are socializing, you are, in a way, watching infinite new possibilities for what you could be wearing next.
The lighting, above each model's head, cast 'halos' and added shadow dimensions to each movement and design.

The dynamic trio photo shows Zoe on the left, and Nicole on the right and the model extraordinaire in the middle, wearing the divine pink and blue, Flow Dress.

Always standing out in the crowd, were 'fashionably blue' Felix, @yukiandbee and Colleen.

The silk crepe, short Kimono Jacket, was to me, a fitting example of the timeless, beautifully made clothing that Nicole Bridger creates.  Each item is complex, has a story and is designed with thoughtfulness, skill and knowledge not only of who we are but also of who we might become.

Sugar Free Chocolates, in all flavors, were deliciously added by "For the Love of Food" by Julie Beyer.

The softly draped cream colored blouse and blue and pink silk shorts were first up and I think they would be flattering on anyone but especially for the smaller figure, like mine.  The dreamy blue, button front dress with white graphics, was a classic and once again, great on both short and tall.  The black sweater with graphic detail and the softly pleated front pants were an elegant combination and could be for work or casual wear.
