Nicole Richie Talks To British Vogue

Nicole Richie is a busy woman these days. She just launched her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate autumn/winter 2010- 11 collections and she’s a mother of two. So busy that she doesn’t even know who Cheryl Cole is! When Glamour announced the winner of “Woman of the Year,” Richie was just a tad confused. This one made me chuckle. Even if you’re not familiar with her music, Cheryl Cole is a recognizable name. Read on to see what Richie had to say about Cheryl Cole, her fashion line, her inspirations, and motherhood.

On Cheryl Cole’s win of Glamour’s “Woman of the Year”:

“I had no idea who that Cheryl girl was. I heard her accent and thought she must be Irish. She’s not big in the US.”

On her favorite part of her collections:

“I’m a busy working mother. I’m all for what’s comfortable but I don’t think people today make enough effort with what they wear. At the same time I don’t want to have to get out of bed early to decide what to put on. My jackets are my favourite part of my collection because you can just throw one on over jeans and a vest and it looks like you’ve made an effort.”

On where she gets her inspiration from:

“I was walking around the other day and I saw this woman wearing this great hat and I thought actually that’d make a really good bag so we turned it upside down and now it’s a great looking bag. Handbags and sunglasses are the area I really hope to expand on. I’m a real handbag girl. I couldn’t cope without my Balenciaga- it comes everywhere with me.”

On life after her second baby:

“When I had Sparrow I felt as if I knew what I was doing more. I knew the signs and when it started happening I tied my hair into a nice side plait, put on my bronzer and off I went. I have found the increase in bust size difficult though. It’s why I dyed my hair brunette. I was blonde with this big chest and I thought ‘no this is not my look.”
