Designer Inspiration with Nicola Finetti

Would you be able to sum up the feel of your Spring Collection please?
Strong modern, structural yet sensual.

What do you think a woman looks most beautiful in?
A woman can look beautiful in anything as long as she wears it with confidence.

There are a lot of Australian Celebrities that wear your designs, can you name a few that you would say looked especially spectacular?
Jen Hawkins always look amazing in everything she wears - especially loved dressing her for the logies. I've been dressing Jessica Mauboy quite a bit of late and love the youthfulness she brings to my garments

What inspired you to become a fashion designer?
I was originally an architect and I transitioned into doing fashion design - What brought me to the transition is that buildings were not totally expressing the human being form- the body. Suddenly I understood the clothes were the expressive garments of the body and my vocation was to create clothes which exalt the body and cover it in different ways.

What is your collection’s colour palette for Spring?
Neutrals - beige and whites with shots of fuschia and ember.

Number #1 Summer Must have from your collection?
The twisted dress with square application - this dress has a subtle sexiness to it - with the side cut outs which is a huge trend this season, the square application softens it.

What do you do to get inspired or find inspiration?
Go travelling - but inspiration is a funny thing, sometimes it hits you when you least expect.
