Nikki’s Knitwear is just so amazing, you really do have to see it up close to realise how much detail is in these stunning hand-knitted pieces.
Nikki Gabriel originates from Melbourne but now resides in Napier, New Zealand. From there, she sources and creates new textures and knit structures and with a small collection of hardworking knitters to help her knit, she hand crafts her range.
This summer’s range, the yarns are a Cotton/Linen blend, making it the perfect summer weight for knitwear, These amazing pieces stand alone and will also work fabulously back with your new season taylor pieces you may already have or have your eye on…
Tulip Lace Top
The Tulip Lace Top is a wonderful wardrobe asset. It can be worn quite practically day to day with a great pleat front trouser or pair of jeans and ankle boots… yet it would look stunning worn to a black tie event under a man’s style tailored suit jacket like out Alias Jacket and a soft Palazzo Pant – team it with sky scraper heels and you could go anywhere. The very clever leaf shapes Nikki has created within the lace knitted texture are just amazing when you look up close… and it’s these details that set this knitwear apart and enable it to live forever.
Braided Cape Top
For those that know or have experienced last winter’s Angel Cape of Nikki Gabriel’s, this one is your summer alternative. The Braided Cape Top looks great paired with a soft silk shirt underneath, such as our Parachute Shirt. For high summer keep cool simply with a scooped back tank underneath and show off that beautiful braid detail across the back. This one is something very special and especially an option if you want to get away from a traditional cardigan shape.
- Fringe Lace Dress
This season Nikki’s gorgeous knitted dresses with their lace hem detailing will definitely be worth considering if you have a summer beach wedding to go to and you want something that is elegant, easy to wear and a little bit edgier than your classic silky number. With the most beautiful lace detail on the hem, and the fun fringe detail being totally detachable, you are given options on how to wear it. This dress under the Linen Generale Trench and adds a chic sophistication to the look, and is perfect for any sort of special event you may have on the horizon.
Nikki Gabriel’s Knitwear launch will be available in-store in Newmarket from this Saturday the 17th of September
