NCL Couture is a truly beautiful line, and the brain child of designer Nicholas Clements-Lindsey, who is the youngest African American male to ever show at Fashion Week. If that isn’t an achievement enough, his creations are one drool-worthy piece after the next.

The collection focuses on stunning dresses and gowns, but integrates some luxury basics as well, with funky separates and glam sets. NCL Couture is fashion forward as Clements-Lindsey puts his unique take on fashion into each piece, with the result being truly innovative and ahead of the trends. You would never know the designer has not gone to design school, as his tailoring is seamless and the silhouettes are true perfection.

I had the privilege of meeting Nicholas before his presentation, and while I only got to see Spring/Summer (which was to die for as well), I was waiting very impatiently to see what the designer had up his sleeves for his Fall/Winter presentation. The inspiration for the collection was a movie mash-up between Roman Holiday and Dangerous Liasons, two classic movies whose marriage has created a runway full of wearable, timeless looks.

Nicholas incorporates red into most of his pieces (it’s his signature color), and the embellishments are seamless, and truly make each outfit come to life. From ornate bows to stunning jackets, each pieces flows both on the body and down the carpet with a light spirit that many designers aspire to create. His looks bridge the gap between preppy chic and the avant garde, making them the perfect go-to outfits to create a statement while looking utterly refined. Oh, and if you are a lover of this designer, as I am, and have the extra change, the designer can even commission a one-of-a-kind dress for your special occasion. As for now, I’m sticking to the runway looks, the bow gown has me in a outworldy fashion dream of amazement.
