Nicholas K is set to open Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for the second time since its move to Lincoln Center last year and designer Nicholas Kunz has a nature-inspired collection to kick the season off. Looking to Jonatan Frenk to model two preview looks from the collection, Nicholas K showcases a color palette drawn from the earth and ensembles that are patterned after the rugged wilderness. Approaching Thursday’s shows, the stage is set for a collection propelled by survival and protection.
