Trendless, seasonless and limitless, THE ORDER is the multi-disciplinary creative expression of proprietress Nicole Maret, whose insatiable thirst for novelty + mystery have rendered the brand predictably unpredictable: while eleven collections of lingerie-inspired clothing defined a decade of sartorially-driven design, Nicole’s penchant for hostessing makes her foray into the realm of tableware every bit as expected as it isn’t.

With medium + narrative forever in flux, THE ORDER’s dark + subversive elegance will continue to carry one collection to the next, a delicate deviance defining both the brand and its architect.

THE ORDER is Nicole Maret.

There are no days off, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

With a background of over ten years creating lingerie-inspired clothing and clandestine events to accompany each collection, as THE ORDER’s creative director + proprietress Nicole has built a rapport for treading the line between sophisticate + provocateur through luring clientele + kindred creative spirits into the fictional worlds that inspire her work.

Whether her own or that of a co-conspirator, bringing a creative vision to life is Nicole’s unarguable forté. In addition to her own endeavors, she has also worked with private clients / vendors to brand + execute a multitude of products + visions, ranging from custom garments + interactive collateral to curious tablescapes + unconventional dinner soirees. Most at home in a realm in which the tangible is only part of the equation, Nicole strives to make life more fortuitous, mysterious and sentient one moment + object at a time.

A vestige of electricity, joy, kindness + wonder, Leona was my beloved grandmother. She was a fabulous paradox of a woman who was every bit as pious as she was deviant, inextinguishable and unshakable in every realm.

A brilliant hostess whose table + presence were forever living works of art, Leona would have treasured these objects, surely finding more imaginative ways to use them than we could ever fathom ❤
