Other than fashion....

Featured here; my knitted blue rose and daffodil.
I wasn't sure how they would work out when I began as I wasn't working to a pattern, but both were loved by their recipients as very unique gifts!

Final Collection

This is my final collection at UCF BA(Hons) Fashion Design. Modelled by Leanna McCartney, Corrine Brock and Sam Sweet.

"When Nicci Davidson photographed the beaches of St. Austell she was caught by the texture of the surroundings in the cliff faces, rocks and waves.Translating the notion of a three-dimensional contrast between surface and structure, Nicci's casual daywear of knitwear, jackets and dresses builds upon the body with reference to the magnificent surroundings of Cornwall. Natural creams and browns are complimented by sparks of orange and blue upon edges and lining. Nicci's choice to use complex waxed cotton and thin yarns reflects the temperamental personality of the environment itself, though with technical precision Nicci has reined in the essence of nature. Customised hand knitted garments reveal the ruggedness of rocks and the ebb and flow of water with a perceptive and tough Autumn/Winter range." Nina Joyce.
