As soon as I received my first pay-check, I headed over to Nicola Finetti’s QV boutique in Melbourne. I was working at Miss Sixty selling denim, but my heart longed for silk, organza and elegance. A veteran in the Australian fashion industry, Nicola Finetti started his label over a decade ago. I’ve been a fan since I was a teen. Recently I had the opportunity to interview the designer to ask about his covetable label, his background in architecture and his favourite hobbies.

Nicola Finetti admits that he is a very driven, innovative and creative person. Having studied architecture, he is well-read in the art field. His SS13/14 collection is inspired by op-art artist Victor Vasarely, who is renowned for his incredible colourful optical illusions in the 60s. The collection boasts structured tailoring and contemporary cuts in clashing geometric prints. I’m sporting a neutral version in the post, but you can check out the full range [HERE]. Nicola loves to travel and immerse himself in the culture of each city he ventures to. He has lived in 3 continents (Europe, South America and Australia), each over a decade long. He counts movies, icons, nature, cities and street style as his top inspirations for each of his collections. One thing he said to me which I will never forget is: Fashion is like your home, it represents who you are on the inside.

Well, now you know what I’ll be doing this weekend! Sprucing up my home!

[spoiler title=”中文版”]小时后，一当我收到了每周的收入，我就会前往墨尔本QVNicola Finetti 的精品店去看时装。当时我在Miss Sixty工作，买牛仔裤，但我的心渴望着丝绸，纱和优雅的款式。算是澳洲时尚老将，Nicola Finetti十几年前开始了他的品牌。自从他刚开始经营，我一直爱着他的时装。最近，我非常荣幸有机会采访这位设计师，问他关于他的灵感，他的爱好，和他的背景。

Nicola Finetti承认，他是一个非常勤奋，并有创造性的人。年轻时他读了建筑，对艺术届来说他是个专家。他SS13/14系列的灵感来自运艺术的艺术家Victor Vasarely。Victor丰富多彩的光学幻觉艺术作品在60年非常代闻名。Nicola Finetti的新系列带有结构性的剪裁与现代化的印花。我穿着新季节的摩托车夹克，你可以在[这里]看到整个系列。Nicola Finetti爱旅行，沉浸在每个城市的文化中。他曾经住在3大洲（欧洲，南美和澳大利亚），每洲待了十多年。他说启发来自于电影，图标，自然，城市和街头风格。有一件事，他对我说，我永远不会忘记：时尚就像你的家，它代表了你里面的世界。

那你应该知道这个周末我会做什么咯！打理我的家！[/spoiler]
