Nicole Richie’s Winter Kate Fashion Collection and House of Harlow 1960 Footwear Collection to Debut in Spring 2010
Los Angeles, California-November 9, 2009
After her successful launch of the House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line, Nicole Richie is expanding on her design prowess and chic retro jewelry creations to branch into a full line of apparel and footwear with a similar vintage yet classic aesthetic. The new line, created in partnership with brand owner and manufacturer Majestic Mills, is comprised of approximately 40 pieces: dresses – long and short, blouses, tunics, vests, bed jackets, kimono tops and more structured jackets, in vintage silk crepe and vintage silk chiffon, some with fringe and handcrafted embroidery or cotton macramé details. The collection is inspired by timeless prints and shapes; beautiful paisley and florals that have been vintage washed and some have been over-dyed for that classic feel.
Winter Kate – the middle names of Nicole’s daughter Harlow-features pieces that range from edgy: the little sexy leather jacket – to romantic: slip dresses and camisoles. The Spring 2010 collection reflects her love of ethereal flowing clothes: easy to wear, simple, yet romantic and feminine at the same time. They also reflect Nicole’s love of vintage and classic- with a modern ease that allows pieces like the bed jackets and kimonos or shells to be worn with jeans or cocktail dresses. They allow a woman to feel feminine, yet function freely. The dresses and blouses work perfectly for layering or worn alone for late spring warm weather.
Spring 2010 will also see the launch of House of Harlow 1960’s premiere shoe collection. The shoes range from rich skins to a more playful, bohemian collection of moccasins and sandals. There is great attention to detail and beautiful embellishments (bright beads, soft peacock feathers). The collection features sandals, wedges, platforms and high heels.
The collection will be available globally beginning February 2010.
Hi everyone. As I mentioned previously, I joined A Pea in the Pod to create a capsule collection, and this past Thursday APIP hosted an event celebrating its launch. It was held at the store’s Beverly Hills location and it meant so much to me that so many people came to see the line.
The line is titled “Nicole” and I created pieces that I would love to wear as an expectant mother. The collection includes items such as a peasant top, a caftan, a cascade cardigan, a patio dress and a maxi skirt.
A Pea in the Pod and I joined to create a capsule collection of maternity wear that will be available in stores this summer. Last weekend I shot some images for the campaign with one of my favorite photographers, James White .
I’m really excited for you all to see the new collection.
Just wanted to share this picture of me and Monica, the winner of my Fashion Show tickets. It was such a pleasure meeting her and I wish I could have met all of you. Thank you to everyone who entered!
Tomorrow night I’ll be having a fashion show at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood that is being taped as part of a new MTV series called Styl’d.
Both men and women will be walking in the show — the men will be dressed in Pete Wentz’s clothing line, Clandestine Industries, and the women will be wearing House of Harlow jewelry! I’m so excited to have been given this opportunity, and I want to share it with you guys.
I’m giving away two tickets to the show. Enter to win by telling me in a comment what fashion means to you and why I should choose YOU to attend tomorrow night.
The deadline to enter is 11:00am PT and then whoever I choose as the winner will receive an email shortly after telling them where they can pick up their tickets.
Good luck everyone!
(This contest applies only to people that will be in the Los Angeles area tomorrow night, Thursday, June 4th. I’m so sorry I can’t include all of you.)
Last night I got another Brazilian blow dry. Some of you may remember I’ve written about this treatment before. It has saved me so much time and ultimately has made my hair grow since I’m not putting direct heat on it everyday. I even got my mom to get one last night and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since.
I cannot recommend this treatment enough, it’s the best thing I’ve done in a while.
For those of you who are interested in trying out this amazing treatment, call the Andy LeCompte Salon at (310) 273-4100 and ask for Liz.
Tonight my dad will be appearing on Larry King Live. He has a new album out and I will be joining him on the show to talk about everything from his music, to the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation, to everything else going on in our lives.
The show will air on CNN at 6:00pm PST and then again at 9:00pm PST. Hope you all can watch! xx
