NICOL & FORD

Blending historical elegance with contemporary edge, NICOL & FORD is a fashion label that challenges norms and celebrates queer identity through visionary design. Known for their innovative use of silhouette, textile, and texture, the label pushes boundaries with garments that reimagine the past to create a more inclusive and expressive present.

Every annual collection begins with deep research, aiming to reverse queer erasure and reclaim stories often lost in mainstream narratives. Their work is more than fashion—it’s a movement that honors creative ingenuity and community leadership, rooted in a desire to spotlight marginalized voices and rewrite traditional aesthetics.

Based in Newtown, Sydney, ethical production is at the heart of Nicol & Ford’s philosophy. All pieces are made to order using locally sourced materials, crafted with care and intention in their Newtown-based atelier. The result is a collection that’s not only stunningly detailed and emotionally resonant but also sustainably produced.

At Australian Fashion Week, Nicol & Ford stand out as champions of conscious, community-driven fashion—where history is reimagined, gender is fluid, and style is fearless. This is fashion as storytelling, as activism, and as art.
