Nicole Miller Biography

Nicole Miller's Biography

For over twenty years, Nicole Miller has remained 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 celebrities Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Daryl Hannah, Kim Cattrall and Paris Hilton 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.

Since 1982, Miller 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. Recently, Nicole was selected as a celebrity cabinet member by The American Red Cross.

A true American designer, Nicole Miller’s perfect "little black dress" has cultivated into an eclectic collection that imbues an individual sense of style. Today, the label has grown to include outerwear, accessories, cosmetics and a complete home line exclusive to Bed Bath and Beyond. In October 2003, Nicole launched her contemporary sportswear line, millergirl, during L.A. Fashion Week.

Millergirl introduces a modern and edgy element to the Nicole Miller brand, and has received wide national magazine editorial and celebrity recognition. For New York’s Spring 2005 fashion week, Miller launched Signature, an upscale "red carpet" collection. Expensive fabrics and intricate details distinguish Signature as a line that will address the boutique customer’s desire for luxury.

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 Madison Avenue in New York City, Miller’s boutiques always reflect her effervescent personality and flair for the original, unique and always unpredictable.
