Nicole Richie: My line is evolving

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Richie recently launched her latest House of Harlow 1960 collection and says the brand is continuing to evolve. The American fashionista founded her jewellery label in 2008, and counts Madonna and Ashlee Simpson as celebrity fans.

It’s gone on to expand to sunglasses, handbags and clothing too, with Nicole recently launching her latest collection at Bloomingdales New York.

“I was focusing on taking that original House of Harlow Art Deco feel and just really maturing it and having it evolve and grow,” Nicole smiled to Lucky magazine about her new designs.

“I started the line almost seven years ago and it’s something that is very close to my heart, so I wanted to go back into that first season and make it more mature but still keep that luxe, cool Deco feel.”

Nicole stunned at the launch in a floor length black gown that featured intricate cut out detail on the back.

The 32-year-old is known for her bold and fashion forward personal style, and can’t wait for the seasons to change so she can indulge in winter wear.

“Well, fall and winter are my favourite seasons to dress for, because they give you an opportunity to really play with layering. I always struggle in the summer and spring because it’s so hot and I always find myself thinking like, ‘I don’t want to dress like a hooker, but I guess I will.’ You know?” she laughed.

“But I love turtlenecks, I love sweaters – and I’m from LA, so I have all my jackets that I got last year that I never got to wear. I love the idea of layering. I love a long sleeve.”
