This year Nicole Miller celebrates her 20th
anniversary as a principal of America’s design elite. Her following is
celebrity driven and far-reaching thanks to elegant designs that appeal
to an array of customers. Established actresses Kim Cattrall and
Jennifer Aniston and up-and-comers like Hillary Duff and Mena Suvari
all wear and love Nicole Miller designs.
With degrees from the
Rhode Island School of Design and the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de
la Haute Couture in Paris, Nicole Miller has an enviable background in
both art and couture. Her clothing is marked by the duality of her
experience; beautifully cut garments are highlighted by exquisitely
drawn prints.
Ms. Miller has always operated in unique and
original ways. From her first “hip smock dress” in 1982, she has set
the pace for her contemporaries, inspiring design revolutions. In 1986
she opened her first boutique to better serve her loyal customers and
in doing so catalyzed a trend for independent designers wanting
creative freedom from department stores. Ten years later, Miller put
actresses, instead of models on the fall runway. Minnie Driver,
Gretchen Mol and Jill Hennessy among others, made “Fashion Week”
history. Shortly following her show, the trend of “actresses as models”
emerged, as movie stars began replacing traditional models both in
print and on the runway.
Through carving her niche in the
fashion world, Nicole Miller has become known for her other interests
and hobbies. Miller, always a veritable host, is in the process of
penning a book on the art of entertaining and cuisine. She also
emphasizes charitable giving and raises money for many Manhattan based
and National charities. A proud New Yorker, Miller was heard as one of
the “Buckle Up for Safety” voices in the classic New York City icon,
the Manhattan taxi cab.
A true American designer, Nicole Miller
reinvented the “little black dress” and became well known for her
whimsical, conversational prints as well as fragrances such as the
original Nicole perfume and Nicole Miller perfume. Today, the label has
grown to include cosmetics, home furnishings, menswear, eyewear,
handbags, outerwear, hosiery, kids, shoes, sleepwear and jewelry. The
company boasts thirty freestanding NICOLE MILLER boutiques throughout
the United States, each of which serves as a showplace for Nicole
Miller and the lifestyle that she represents. A pioneer in such “Meccas
of shopping” as Soho in New York City, Miller’s boutiques always
reflect her effervescent personality and flair for the original, unique
and always unpredictable. |
