Two Spring Outfits patricianicolas.blogspot.co.uk

If you could choose anyone in the world to wear your jewellery, who would it be?

Kate Moss. She’s beautiful, and so effortlessly stylish. She’s not afraid to be herself and one of the main ideas behind my designs; to be unique and have fun with what you wear.

Where did you get your inspiration for your most recent collection?

My Summer Picnic Collection was inspired by an amazing trip to Brazil over New Year. It’s fun and colourful and it’s full of all kinds of crazy things like footprints, flippers and fish.

What has been the highlight of your life in fashion?

Me and my sister hosting the Moustache Party for Vogue’s Fashion Night Out. We had the party at Yube, we all had one of my True Gentlemen moustaches. It was so cool, so stylish and so much fun!

To have a Blog on Spanish Vogue is something most designers would die for, why did Vogue choose you? 

I have a lot to write about! Designing my collections, living in London; people get a real insight into my life. I think the best blogs are the ones people can relate to. I try to create looks that are a bit different and I think people relate to that. Stylish Disorientation Patricia Nicolas Blog for Spanish Vogue.

Where is your favourite hangout in London?

If I’m clubbing I love Box. East London is a great place to hangout, its full of really individual and creative people and it has this laid back vibe that’s hard to find elsewhere.

      

Hanging out at my favourite place for tea in Shoreditch East London.

 What is your favourite fashion shop in the world?

Yube, of course! They have only the best brands, and only the best pieces. It has a great atmosphere too, not to mention its owned by my lovely sister. She has perfect taste!

What has been the craziest moment you have had in fashion?

This was my worst moment. During the last London Fashion Week, I went to a big party at the club ‘La Baron’. I was wearing my favourite high heels from Miu Miu. The club has a very steep staircase, and at my entrance to the party I fell all the way down from the top. It was so embarrassing but I couldn’t stop laughing.
