Studio Nicholson is a London-based clothing brand founded in 2010 by designer Nick Wakeman, whose 20+ years of industry experience fuel a refined, fabric-first approach to modern dressing. Grounded in the belief that form should follow fabric, Wakeman puts each garment through a rigorous design process, often involving four to five fittings to perfect cut and shape. The result is a modular wardrobe built season by season, defined by voluminous silhouettes, architectural outerwear, and clean, boxy denim.
Deeply inspired by Japan and the minimalist structures of architect Tadao Ando, Wakeman approaches clothing much like architecture—considering angles, materials, and movement in space. Her fascination with texture and materiality translates into garments that are sculptural, tactile, and functional. Purposefully playful yet rigorously refined, Studio Nicholson celebrates intelligent layering, comfort, and practicality through a lens of timeless elegance.
