As a fashion icon,television star and designer,Nicole Richie drew inspiration for her exclusive collection for Macy's from a well of experiences,including current and retro music and her mother's sense of style.
Combined with her own rocker,bohemian aesthetic,"Nicole Richie for Impulse"was designed for the woman who wears many hats and wants fashionable clothing at an affordable price.Each piece in the collection defines the epitome of uninhibited individualism,whether it be a flowing maxi dress for the free spirit,studded jacket with faux leather pants for the rocker,or a lace-trimmed,printed dress for the ultra-feminine woman.
Retro prints take center stage in the form of bold peacock kaleidoscopes,feather motifs and deco chevron patterns,while matte satin,velvet and chiffon fabrications add sophistication.Jewel tones anchor the color palette,while complementary gold and imperial blue hues create pops of color throughout.
"Nicole Richie for Impulse"offers an eclectic mix of prints,colors and silhouettes that speak to the fashion-forward customer who is looking for pieces that transition easily from day to night.
