meet the designer: nicole miller
Nicole Miller has been designing for decades and her tenure is impressive in a field where there is always a budding designer ready to take the spotlight on the catwalk. Not to age us both, but I wore a Nicole Miller for my college graduation (purchased from Nuevo Mundo on Cameron Street) and I continue to purchase Nicole Miller dresses and separates for my clients and myself. In fact, two pieces I chose to wear for the Stylebook mailer (out this week!) were from Nicole Miller (available at Kiskadee).
Designer Facts:
– Her father was an engineer which she attributes partly to her success as a designer and the ability to understand how things are constructed
– Her mother was French and dressed Nicole and her sister in French children’s clothing (while being raised in Texas)
– She pays close attention to proportions, curves and necklines making her clothing a favorite of women
– She is an avid collector of French Modern Furniture and Contemporary Art
Celebrity client list: Angelica Houston, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, LeAnn Rimes, Lauren Hutton, Sharon Stone, Eva Longoria, Susan Sarandon, Sheryl Crow.
Not only is Nicole Miller incredibly talented and smart, she is an absolutely stunning woman that continues to be relevant in her field. Dressing your age is a familiar topic of conversation with my clients. I urge you to keep Nicole Miller in your search categories for sheath dresses, specialty tops and well fitting pants and jackets. She’s also a go-to designer for mother of the bride selections and wedding dresses. Kiskadee keeps a nice selection of her daywear on their racks. ** A word of caution…many Nicole Miller dresses are meant to fit snug – it’s part of her genius. Consider sizing up and don’t be discouraged by doing so. The ruched silhouettes are engineered to run interference over our imperfections and celebrate curves.
