As far as Nicola is concerned, her art is all about colour, movement and imagination. To use a colour palette which is strictly limited in its scope, enables the designer to put greater emphasis on the other two ingredients. In Married Life, Nicola takes colour usage back to a bare minimum. Even her stylised flowers have just two simple colours to support them, but this is no accident. The designer has used the simplicity of her colour choices to emphasise the movement of her mythological birds and on this occasion, the designer’s choice of shape, with its gentle curves, helps to contain her flapping and squawking couple.
