Nicole On...
Her fashion icon: “I know it’s obvious, but Karl Lagerfeld. He’s an extremely smart businessman, so nice and really knows what he’s talking about. He’s someone to look up to 100 percent. ... [He] can say something that’s so genius regarding fashion but that also has a really funny, sarcastic undertone. ... Just being in the room with him is an honor.”

Finding inspiration: “I travel so much, and it’s more just from being out there that I really find most of my ideas."


FiancĂ© Joel Madden’s favorite brands: “[Men’s fashion] is such a different world and something I know nothing about. If I said ‘Vans,’ he’d probably be like, ‘No, no. It’s Nike.’ So, it’s better not to even to go there.”

Hosting a fashion-related reality show:“Heidi [Klum] has got a great thing going on, and she’s clearly on top in that world. I really don’t see where another show could fill that space.”



Nicole looked to this vintage peacock print shawl for inspiration when designing her Winter Kate collection.

Her favorite shops:“Decades, Resurrection and Satine [in Los Angeles] are great, but I really like shopping all over [the world].”
Nicole drew ideas from the classic Native American style when designing the Moccasin shoes for her House of Harlow collection.

Embracing past fashion faux pas:“I love to look at old pictures, make fun of myself and say, ‘How embarrassing was this? How embarrassing was that?’ It’s fun and part of looking back at who you were.”
