Katie-Louise and Lilian Nicol are the creative minds behind Nicol & Ford, an Inner West independent fashion house renowned for pushing boundaries in contemporary couture. Their work explores the intersection of art, fashion, and cultural storytelling, blending sculptural design with narrative depth. Named “Australian fashion’s most compelling storytellers” by Harper’s Bazaar (2024), the duo is celebrated for uncovering erased histories and amplifying diverse voices through their practice. For the Biennale of Sydney’s Rememory, they bring this ethos to life by curating panel conversations and performances drawn from within their communities, fostering dialogue that connects stories and experiences across time, context, and culture.
