R&S

You recently partnered up with Tolani to create a ‘Mommy and Me’ collection, tell us what inspired your designs:

Nicky

I wanted to design pieces that were breezy and comfy. I worked closely with the Tolani team developing prints that were inspired by my favorite summer destinations. You will see a lot of Positano and Greek references in there.

R&S

Favorite piece from the collection:

Nicky

I love the Elizabeth dress. It’s very versatile. I wear it as a dress, belt it with jeans as a top or throw it on at the beach as a cover up.
