Nicole Richie has long been a fashion favorite among the Maniac set. We died over
her first foray into fashion, House of Harlow, which started off as a line of jewelry on
Kitson’s online boutique and has since expanded to include apparel and shoes. We
watched in rapt attention earlier this year when Richie joined Jessica Simpson and John
Varvatos as mentors on Fashion Star. And now, we wait anxiously for Richie’s next
project – her line for Macy’s, Nicole Richie for Impulse.
The collection, set to debut this fall, draws inspiration from the bohemian chic style
Richie is known for and features a tantalizing collection filled with all our favorites –
leather with chiffon and lace, contrasting prints and lots of loose-fitting layers, even
maxis and asymmetrical skirts paired with retro prints. Also noted: we love that Richie
herself starred in the ad campaign for the collection.
The sketches revealed last month left everyone in high hopes for the collection of nearly
30 pieces. But Richie has big shoes to fill, following in the footsteps of previous Impulse
designers like Karl Lagerfeld and Matthew Williamson. Will you check out Nicole’s
collection when it hits Macy’s this fall? Are you a fan of her personal style?
