Nicholas K Fall 2012

          Behind the scenes preparation at Nicholas K 

It's all about the layering for  Nicholas and Christopher Kunz . Their fall collection is dominated by earth tones, leathers, fringe, fur and  safari tie dye accents.  A modern  ride em cow girl approach with  a  bonanza style hat and a  far cry from home on the range. The  over the knee boots  and ankle wedges makes  the edgy layered clothes complete!  I love the textured layering. Any one of these models walking down the runway would also look terrific on a trail with a stallion on the Ponderosa!
