I can see the organic and natural integrity come through too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575890 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 11:02:54 +0000 Style Fan 1575890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info.&nbsp; I am torn between&nbsp;country and urban living.&nbsp; Maybe that is why this designer appealed to me so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575741 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 00:27:35 +0000 rachylou 1575741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575697 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 23:11:07 +0000 Greyscale 1575697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I came here to share the same hilarious twitter account as UmmLila.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dystopian YA genre probably is played out, but the new Mad Max was a completely, utterly different sort of movie than I've ever seen, and I'm excited to see the next movie when they make it. Of course, it didn't add much in the way of fashion, unless chrome face spray is the new style. </p> <p>edit: here's another link to the twitter account, easier to read on non-mobile</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/DystopianYA/">https://twitter.com/DystopianYA/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575693 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 23:06:41 +0000 Bonnie 1575693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing these articles. I like their designs inspired by nature and my favorite place to be is outdoors. &nbsp;And, they're from Tucson - one of my favorite little big towns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575692 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 23:04:54 +0000 Anonymous 1575692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is indeed on the downward curve of the trend in YA publishing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575689 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 22:50:57 +0000 Aida 1575689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! Thanks for sharing these with us Anna. Their design lines do have an organic feel, makes sense that nature is a primary muse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575687 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 22:46:48 +0000 Anonymous 1575687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew, glad to hear the apocalypse isn't necessarily approaching, it's just Mother Nature being a muse to a designer.&nbsp; That sounds all right to me!&nbsp; Now, back to our regularly scheduled fashion programs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575673 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 22:34:05 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1575673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/DystopianYA/tweets" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/DystopianYA/tweets</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575668 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 22:29:34 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1575668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter reads a lot of YA fiction. I read her top picks, too. She finds a lot of it to be derivative and lacking originality, especially the dystopian stuff. She follows a parody one on Twitter and reads me the best bits.</p> <p>When I was working out my black draperies this morning I was thinking that the best outfit would be to look like Tina Turner in Mad Max beyond Thunderdome. That I didn't manage, but I had Mad Max, and Commander Salamander and Fiorucci and other 80s good stuff on the brain today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nicholas-k---their-inspiration#post-1575658 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 22:04:50 +0000 annagybe 1575658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the term post-apocalyptic thrown around a lot describing this line. I realize that some on the forum fully embrace this term in terms of creating a style.<br />So I decided to do some digging on the designers. It's a brother-sister duo. Though they did some pieces for the Hunger Games movies, &nbsp;currently they cite more than once references to nature and the outdoors for their inspiration. Also not necessarily futuristic.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/a10728/9-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-brand-nicholas-k/">http://www.marieclaire.com/fas.....icholas-k/</a></p> <p>Fall 2014</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.examiner.com/article/hunger-game-stars-give-nod-to-nicholas-k-designs-at-mercedes-benz-fashion-week"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/hunger-game-stars-give-nod-to-nicholas-k-designs-at-mercedes-benz-fa" rel="nofollow">http://www.examiner.com/articl.....es-benz-fa</a>...</a></p> <p>Interview for spring/summer 2015<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.knstrct.com/fashion-blog/2014/9/12/youve-never-seen-fashion-week-like-this-before">http://www.knstrct.com/fashion.....his-before</a></p> <p>Interview for fall 2015 show</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thefashionspot.com/runway-news/540119-nicholas-k-fall-2015/#/slide/1">http://www.thefashionspot.com/...../#/slide/1</a></p> <p>But in the end it is what the consumer sees and wants which can vary greatly from the designer's intent.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA I've seen some scuttle that the whole dystopian genre in literature and movies is played out.</p>
