Last week, at the Centre For Fashion Enterprise pop-up showroom, we had the pleasure of meeting Richard Nicoll, maker of our favorite Topshop frock and all-around star designer. After a break-out MA collection at Central St Martins in 2002, Nicoll went on to show as part of the Fashion East gang and then, later, was backed by Topshop's New Gen program. More recently, Nicoll won the ANDAM prize as well as the British Fashion Council's Fashion Forward Award. Needless to say, he's faring quite well. Nicoll's standout Fall 2009 collection started by way of a print collaboration with the British artist Linder and explored deconstruction and femininity themes. Check out our snapshots from the showroom along with runway images below.

Richard Nicoll Cruise Lands On Shore
This morning Net-a-Porter revealed their first deliveries from Richard Nicoll's cruise collection, and the wash of colors has us dreaming for vacation time.
This morning Net-a-Porter revealed their first deliveries from Richard Nicoll's cruise collection, and the wash of colors has us dreaming for vacation time. This midseason offering fits in nicely with Nicoll's Spring 09 collection which similarly features jolts of hot pink and silhouettes that are streamlined and loose-fitting. Nicoll is a graduate of Central St Martins and worked with Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton before launching his own collection in 2005. Along with the first four pieces from his cruise collection, the designer created an exclusive item for Net-a-Porter--namely, his coveted oversized t-shirt dress in navy (left). Classic, modern, and versatile it's no wonder Net-a-Porter requested he make the hot pink dress in another shade. Now Nicoll customers can get the bright statement dress and the classic basic from the same great silhouette.
