Fab Blab: Nicole Richie on House of Harlow

FabSugarUK — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 02:00:15 -0700

Nicole Richie's jewellery line has widely been a success with fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Like the Olsens before her, Nicole proved that celebrity fashion collections don't have to be trashy or demode. House of Harlow is adorably named after her daughter (will a Sparrow diffusion line follow?) and offers vintage style pieces for an affordable price.

She modeled the pieces herself for the look book showing how the items remain true to her own style. Nicole spoke to MyWardrobe about her inspiration, fashion memories and her second love.

Where does the 1960 come from in House of Harlow 1960?
I’m inspired by the styles and vibe of the 1960s and 1970s and wanted the name of my line to reflect that influence.

From the streets of LA to Paris, Chanel's Willy Wonka-esque sunnies are going along for quite a fashionable ride. Nicole Richie wore them first throughout her pregnancy in LA, while Mary-Kate Olsen just sported them at Giambattista Valli's Fall '08 show at Paris Fashion Week. Both are linking arms with men, both are wearing black, but who wore the quirky Chanel sunnies better? Speaking of, what's your favorite sunglass style?

Nicole Richie Shows Us Her House of Harlow

PopSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 06:30:01 -0700

Nicole Richie arrived hand-in-hand with her little sister Sophia at Kitson in LA on Saturday to debut her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line. She was draped in jewels from the collection and looking angelic in a gold headband and white flowy dress. As crowds of fans gathered outside waiting for their turn to meet Nicole, we were lucky enough to be invited inside to catch up with her and check out her beautiful work. She spoke about the line, balancing her roles as both mom to Harlow and designer, and what we can expect next from the brand. Here's more and check out the video after the jump:

Question: How did your jewelry line all come together?
Nicole: I had the idea to do the line about two years ago and it took that long for everything to really come together. I met Pascal [Mouawad] and he’s such a genius. I really respected him so I knew 100 percent that that’s who I wanted to partner up with and I'm really happy that I did.

Q: You had a baby in that time; how do you find the time to do all this?
N: I think there’s 24 hours in a day, and if you schedule it right it just all works out.

Q: Can you talk a bit about your inspiration behind House of Harlow?
N: I’m really inspired by the '60s and '70s. I have a pretty big collection of vintage jewelry so this particular collection was based off of that.

Q: You talked a bit about that collection of jewels and pieces from your family in InStyle last Fall. Are there any particular pieces you’re excited to pass down to your children?
N: Definitely! I would be honored to. My mom has passed down so many great pieces to me so that would be really great.

Q: Do you have any favorite pieces in the line?
N: The headpieces are definitely my favorite.

For more from our chat, plus video of the scene and pictures of an adorably pregnant Nicole showing off House of Harlow 1960, just read more.

Q: Are there any plans to expand House of Harlow?
N: Yes! I just partnered up with a company and we’re going to be expanding House of Harlow. We’re going to be doing sunglasses, belts, bags, clothing . . . so I’m very, very excited.

Q: When is that coming?
N: Well probably the first thing will be out next year. We’re going full steam with it.

Q: Any plans to design for your charity at all?
N: Definitely! When the right opportunity comes along, yes. I love helping people.

FabSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Less than a year ago, Nicole Richie told me she planned on adding shoes and accessories to her House of Harlow line. That she did. The mommy-to-be has just signed a deal with manufacturers Rick and Brian Cytrynbaum to create a footwear, clothing, and accessories collection. "Nicole is designing everything herself. She's totally devoted to this, and we're creating a whole lifestyle around her aesthetic and what is true to her," said Rick Cytrynbaum.

The collection, slated to launch next Spring at select department stores, will include a vast array of shoes, handbags, sunglasses, belts, and even a small apparel line - whew! Exact price points are still to be determined.

Nicole and Joel Aren't Just Acting

PopSugar — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 10:30:13 -0800

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were out shopping the after-Christmas sales in LA on Friday. She swapped her sunglasses halfway through, while Joel was responsible for hauling their multiple bags back to the car. Nicole's the one famous for her fashion, but Joel's next project might involve a few costume changes of his own - he's apparently been taking acting classes and has even lined up a role in an upcoming MTV movie. Joel already has a busy work life with Good Charlotte and all his DCMA ventures, but it looks like multitasking runs in the Richie-Madden family.

Fabcon: Lady Gaga

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 06:00:22 -0700

Ever since Lady Gaga - born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - burst on the scene, there's been a refreshing air circulating the music world. She's the Grace Jones of our time, with her dynamic over-the-top costumes that she seems to never take off! She may be too gaudy for many, but this is music people, and music is supposed to be funky and theatrical.

I first learned of the 23-year-old New York native during an episode of The Hills when Whitney and Lauren were asked to style her performance in LA. She even had a wardrobe malfunction backstage and the girls came to her rescue. Ever since, I can't stop staring at her bold fashions, following her obsession with sunglasses, and singing Just Dance. She's so rad, she's even inspired other stars (i.e. Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie).

A Few Fab Words With Nicole Richie

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Nicole Richie thinks there's nothing cuter than a little boy dressed in a suit. I know this because she told me. Well, it is pretty cute. We snuck Richie away at a recent fundraiser event to talk charity, fashion, and her evolving brand House of Harlow. This happened the night after the Chanel party, so as you can see, Fab was on a celebrity binge. I think I got my fix after an intimate chat with the funny and laid-back Richie at the Cusp Boutique in LA. Nick Verreos, Project Runway alum and friend of Nicole, was also there so stayed tuned to hear what's new with him.

Nicole partnered up with Signorelli to create T-shirts benefiting The Children's Health Fund. She proudly announced raising $400,000! She was wearing the black tank with Angel motif - stay tuned to enter to win the tank Nicole was wearing that benefits the Fund. But first, a few Fab words . . .

What brings you here?

We’re partnering up with Signorelli to raise money for the Children’s Health Fund. Just in Los Angeles, there are 500,000 children without health care and by selling the T-shirts a large amount of the proceeds are helping to fund building for mobile units. So the mobile units can go around and provide immediate health care.

Did you have any say in the design of the shirts?

I didn’t but they sent me options and I went with the black tank, I wear a lot of black.

Can we talk about your jewelry line that’s in the works?

Yes. It’s called House of Harlow and it’s actually the beginning of a brand that I’m developing of children’s apparel and also a clothing line, shoes, bags, sunglasses, everything. I’m really excited. The jewelry is first and it will be out in late August.

To read the rest of the interview and to see lots more exclusive pics from the event, read more.

Can you tell us about the children’s collection?

I’m at the very beginning stages but I’m designing adult clothes for babies. The girl’s clothes are designed after my personal clothing and the guy’s clothes are going to be designed after Joel’s.

So it’s going to be like a mini-me sort of thing.

Yes, exactly. So little hippie dresses for girls and sleeveless tops and suits for boys. I think there’s nothing cuter than a little boy dressed in a suit.

And what else are you wearing?

I think the jacket is Stella McCartney - is it? - the pants are Balenciaga, and Loubs. (And she was carrying her black Balenciaga motorcycle bag – with iPod headphones falling out).

How would you describe your personal style?

I don’t know how to answer that! I really don’t know, I feel like I wear the same thing every day. I just accessorize differently and wear whatever I’m comfortable in. Like, when I’m with the baby I wear flats and when I’m not I wear heels. It just depends on what mood I’m in.

How has your style evolved?

I still like to dress up. I think every girl, whether you’re 13 or in your twenties, should always try new things. I mean, I’ve had my hair pink and brown and blonde and I think it’s all about trying new things; I’m really open to new looks. I love fashion so much that I definitely want to take it to the next level and I’m really excited about it all.

NIcole Richie's Charitable Baby Shower

PopSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 10:30:47 -0800

Nicole Richie kept a low profile behind her hat and sunglasses in LA yesterday, but the details of her upcoming baby shower have been publicly broadcasted. Nicole's party will be this Sunday and instead of gifts, she and Joel have asked their guests to donate useful baby items to the Richie Madden Children’s Foundation, an organization they started to help mothers in need. As for the party itself, Paris will play hostess with their mutual friend Masha even though Hilton recently admitted that she's a little out of her element. She said, I honestly don't know what you play at a shower. Maybe I'll find a book or something to get some ideas."

Paris also revealed that she wasn't sure what to get the couple as a gift since Nicole and Joel don't know the sex of the baby yet. Something tells us this baby will still get spoiled with plenty of beautiful gifts, whether it's a boy or girl.
