Nicole Miller picked up on the Native American influence for pre-fall, but don't expect anything too New Age-y from this longtime New Yorker. A silk cocktail dress featured a digitalized Navajo print and metallic feather trim, while beige nubuck leather was used for a biker jacket and matching miniskirt. If a stretch denim zip-front body-con dress with frayed pintucking felt too busy for Miller's modern girl-about-town, a metal taffeta strapless cocktail number with a subtle snakeskin pattern was a charmer.
