Margarita Robertson is New Zealand born and educated, but a strict Greek orthodox lifestyle injects a different outlook to her label Nom D. Wearablility and function within her contemporary knitwear is a priority, although exploration of cloth and form is key to the Nom D style. The collection is sophisticated with contrasting black and whites that do away with traditional fastenings. Long steel pins hold together unstructured coats and jackets have concealed buttons that help to maintain clean, fluid lines. Parachute silks add elegance and contrast to knitwear, whilst sharp flashes of red are dynamic.
