MICHELLE NICOL,
CO-FOUNDER OF
STRATEGIC AGENCY NEUTRAL
OUR CONNECTION TO MICHELLE
Michelle Nicol, co-founder of Zurich strategic agency Neutral, met stylist and QWSTION Wholesale Manager, Caroline, at Art Basel, and later became her boss when Caroline joined the Neutral team. Though their paths have since converged, they remain bound by “a passion for contemporary phenomena, a deep interest in fashion, and art and a tremendous curiosity,” Caroline muses. Here’s our QWSTION Critic interview with Michelle, who tested out our Zip Pack in Limestone.
