NEW YORK (AP) — Nicole Miller must have always had a tough spirit inside her — how else could she have lasted so long in the fashion business? — but it’s only in her most recent collections that you see that aggressiveness in the clothes.
The scarf-print dresses of yesteryear are gone, replaced by body-hugging dresses, biker shorts and leather leggings. The fall styles previewed Friday at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at the Bryant Park tents were an extension of the look she offered for spring, using a lot of black, a strong-shoulder silhouette and asymmetrical necklines.
What was new were the leather-sleeve coats, apparently an emerging trend for next season, and the camo print, which hit the right note of sexy in a twisted front-pleat dress.
She used the twist-fabric trick for other things, too, including the sleeves of a wool jacket and a black net-and-sequin dress. Seemingly second-skin dresses with tightly pleated tulle might be intimidating to a wearer at first, but probably are quite flattering.

“Black is the signature color; also camouflage and hints of brick, olive and ash with abstracted references to New York,” Miller wrote in her notes. “A look that is strength personified; ready for the urban jungle.”
But while this is an evolved aesthetic for Miller, is it new to Miller’s customers or do they already have a bomber jacket-tunic-legging outfit from another label?
The chic, city warrior certainly has been around the block, but eventually a look that works carves out a permanent home in shoppers’ closets.
