Richard Nicoll | Burberry Prorsum

Although it’s only Spring 2015, in the studio we’re living in the future as we develop prints for Spring/Summer 2017. Part of this process involves reading a crystal ball – not really – but it does take a bit of time to understand how trends blossom and grow. For winter we saw plenty of bohemian influenced patterns on the runway from rug motifs to indigo dyed fabrics, and even block print designs. So for SS17, we’re translating these looks into a beachier version with batik influences and plenty of stylized tropical plant life. This look can easily be updated with watercolor inlays or taken in a more primitive direction by exaggerating the dot details. How would you adapt this direction?
