British designer, Richard Nicoll, launched his namesake label in 2005 after graduating from Central Saint Martins and apprenticing under Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton. The Australian expat has a knack for sophisticated, wearable, and often colorful designs, which have found him a well-devoted fan base of modern women. We chat with the London fashion week favorite about everything from childhood bike rides to breezing through that dense Steve Jobs biography.
