POPSUGAR: What important role does fashion play in your life right now?
Nicole Richie: Fashion is a form of self-expression, and it has the ability to transform and uplift. Throwing on a long printed caftan or even a piece of jewelry can change my mood completely. I always turn to music, watching old films, and browsing through coffee-table books to get inspired. House of Harlow has been a go-to for women looking for something with movement or a print that she can wear with ease. It feels natural for the brand to continue to focus on this feeling of a woman right now as we all work from home.
PS: Do you feel the industry is shifting in the right way? What can we be doing more of?
NR: The industry is very flexible, and times like these shine a light on how everyone can come together as a community. I am very impressed with so many businesses using their resources to play a role in helping to heal the world. Inspiration is the most powerful tool of design. While the pace of life has slowed down, it's good for us to take these moments and stay creative.
