But even an extremely busy schedule has not stopped the stylist from launching himself into a new project: the creation of his own brand. During an interview with American magazine Milk, Nicola said that it is expected to come out in 2012. Fashionistas will be able to get a sneak preview of the first pieces at the next New York Fashion Week taking place in September.

New York will also be seeing the opening of a “Nicola’s” pop-up store from September 8th to 21st in the neighbourhood of Tribeca. The designer will showcase his work for Mugler and Uniqlo as well as make use of the space to introduce young designers to the public.
