“Richard was a designer whose talent and character inspired all around him," said Sarah Mower, the BFC's ambassador for emerging talent. "He registered his affinity for the spectrum of blues hundreds of times in the collections he showed in London. For a decade, Richard’s life-enhancing gift for bonding people together contributed immeasurably to the spirit of a whole London fashion generation. The visual presence of Nicoll Blue throughout the main fashion week venue is a way to remember and celebrate a great London friend and to convey our respects and eternal gratitude to his family."
The London designer died last year from a heart attack, aged 39. He was living in Australia at the time, having returned to the place he grew up to focus his attention of new creative projects. During his successful and highly regarded career, the designer became synonymous with the colour blue, adopting it in countless collections and winning critical praise from editors and buyers alike.
"We were so pleased to be able to work on the creation of Nicoll Blue, a unique new blue shade in memory of esteemed fashion designer Richard Nicoll," said Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute. "Modest and humble, yet at the same time lively and playful Richard Nicoll’s Nicoll Blue embodies the elegance and sensitive spirit of this much beloved designer whose innate kindness, loving soul and good natured sense of humour held a special allure to all that entered into his orbit."
