Today we are
going to make you meet with occasion-wear Fashion designer, Nicki Macfarlane to chat
about her inspirations and favorite memories.
1.
Describe
yourself in 3 words:
Bubbly,
perfectionist, tired!
2.
Which three words best sum-up Nicki Macfarlane the
brand?
Timeless, elegant and romantic.
3.
Where do you find inspiration?
Inspiration comes from everywhere. From our brides
themselves, a piece of fabric or a child’s dress in an old painting. This
season we have focused on a summer garden party feel, and have used lace,
organza, Georgette and silk in a glorious array of colors which include
Strawberry fool, Pink Champagne, Sky, Blossom, Eau de Nil and Raspberry.
4.
Your favorite childhood memory is:
The house that I grew up in had a rather magical garden with
lots of, admittedly rather murky, ponds. My brother and I spent many happy
hours fishing for all manner of creepy crawlies – my favorite catch was
sticklebacks.
5.
What was your favorite piece of clothing as a child?
My mother’s style, when it came to dressing me, fell short of
a small girl’s dream, however I do remember the excitement of once meeting my
father at the QE2 in Southampton on his return from New York, and he was
clutching a box tied with ribbon. Inside was a pretty pale blue organza dress –
and it actually fitted perfectly too!
6.
What is your favorite piece of clothing?
I always wear skirts to the floor, as I feel they suit me
best and are elegant as well as comfortable. I also love full length coats in
luxurious fabrics preferably velvet, silk or cashmere. It’s great to be able to
put them over anything to smarten up quickly.
