Nicole Richie launching contemporary line

WWD is reporting today that Nicole Richie is launching a new contemporary line called Winter Kate.

The line, which is named after daughter Harlow’s two middle names, will hit stores in February.

“It feels as though I’ve always been working on this collection, but officially I started putting it together in early 2009," Richie told the publication. "I’ve wanted to design a clothing collection for a very long time."

The line will include mostly tops, vests and bed jackets in colorful vintage-inspired silk, crepe and chiffon (mainstays in Richie’s own wardrobe), WWD reported. Prices will range from $35 wholesale for a camisole to as much as $598 for the leather pieces.

“Fashion should be accessible," Richie said. "That was my philosophy when designing House of Harlow 1960 and remains my philosophy for Winter Kate."
