The brand Nick Fouquet-Federico Curradi presented its second collection last Sunday, June 20th, in the beautiful private residence Casa Ranieri Tenti, during Milan fashion week. The dreamy collection fuses together the subconsciousness with consciousness to bring to life a wardrobe suitable for any relaxing vacation or to even just go run some errands.  

“It’s a bit street urchin and a bit Julian Schnabel,” said Federico Curradi, explaining the inspiration behind the spring collection he designed in collaboration with California-based hatmaker Nick Fouquet. It is apparent that the designers provide a great amount of detail into their work.

The shirts and linen outerwear are adorned with hand-crafted porcelain buttons,  while small fish charms hang on a straw hat. “Volumes are soft, enveloping: featherweight jackets, shortened blouses, high-waisted trousers, generous Bermuda shorts, hazy shirts mixed in spontaneous and pictorial compositions,” said the duo. 

Embroideries made by hand enhance the look of the T-shirts and shirts, while a relaxed-fit unisex tan suit can be sported with luxurious knitwear underneath. 

Cool, laid-back, and simply effortless is the vibe Fouquet and Curradi exuded with their collection and it’s the exact kind of clothing we all need after a long exhausting year.
