Nikolić died on 5 April 2008 after short illness aged 33. Soon after his death, Belgrade Fashion Week gave him a posthumous award for contributing to the development of fashion as an art. The fashion show also named one of their competition awards after him. Sponsored by B92, the prize includes $2,000 Euros to be used towards the winner's next collection. In 2006, Nikolić was included in a group retrospective at the 40th edition of the festival which is held twice a year. In 2018, to commemorate the ten years since his passing, Belgrade Fashion Week held a special show in his honour where past winners of his namesake award presented their clothing lines.
