“Gypsy Grunge” was the inspiration behind Nicole Miller’s fall lineup, as she worked tarot cards, constellations, dragons and mystical symbol motifs on a range of cool bomber jackets and embellished dresses. Backstage, Miller said this collection is for “my downtown girl who went to get her fortune read by a tarot-card reader, and then went out on the town and ended up getting Chinese food.”
She must have had a good fortune. The collection was youthful and fun as Miller mixed quirky printed dresses and plaid boyfriend shirts. Key looks included a plaid asymmetric bomber dress with an occult symbol shirt, a floral jacquard high-low dress worn over a gray shirt and a plaid shirt tied at the waist, a dragon-embroidered bomber over a star-and-floral dress and a reefer coat with patches over a bandana-embellished jogger.
Although some of the prints and embellishments leaned a little kitsch — such as a fortune cookie print — overall, it was a fun and lively show.
