Nicole King was born with creativity in her DNA. Her father, a Harvard grad architect, and mother, a renowned creative artist and Smithsonian Institute recognized indigo textile designer; provided a nurturing creative environment where Nicole was encouraged to explore and express her artistic self-expression from a very young age.

Fueled by a cultivated vintage-inspired sensibility while remaining true to her rigorous academic and design experience in New York and Paris, this award-winning Parson’s graduate has been pouring her spiritual soul into her craft and her career for the better part of three decades.

She has successfully led design teams at the GAP, excelling as the Design Director for the 1969 Denim Vintage Collection. While conceiving every hue and stitch of women’s denim and leather for over 10 years, she helmed the design direction for AG Jeans and Mavi Jeans Collections and was later recognized for the diverse “style facelifts” she envisioned for numerous global brands such as Ralph Lauren, Seven For All Mankind, Rich and Skinny, DWP and Ever Worldwide.

Nicole’s simplicity of vision belies a studious attention to the entire world of fashion. “I’m not interested in dressing the world, just those with an inimitable sense of style and an appreciation for exceptional detail,” says King

Having successfully held the design reigns at Koral, Nicole has recently ticked another professional bucket list item by launching her own dynamic creative consultancy, MODERN MASTERPIECES COLLECTIVE, launching soon.

Nicole gently nods to the sexier side of tomboy, infusing her boyish casual charm into ultra-feminine silhouettes. The result is consistent - a collection of effortless, timeless, beautifully re-imagined classics and the delivery of stylish, bottom line-impacting, and newsworthy deliverables she and her clients will remain proud of.
