DALLAS, May 14, 2004/ FW/ --- She’s renown for her feminine, fun and whimsical designs. Her eponymous label, which she founded in 1982, had expanded to menswear, fragrances, jewelry and home furnishings.
Last year, she introduced Miller Girl, a young and edgy collection for teens and young adults. Come Spring 2005, her new sportswear line “Nicole Miller New York” will hit stores.
Developed in collaboration with Donnkenny, Inc, manufacturer and marketer of a broad line of moderate and better-priced women's and junior's sportswear and ladies coats, the
Nicole Miller New York line will bridge the gap between the contemporary and better departments, an area Miller has yet to target.
The label will have three new lines: women's suits, sweaters/knits, and better sportswear. The new collections will fill a void in today's better sportswear departments: Nicole Miller will bring her renown feminine, fun, and whimsical fashion at a great value.
Knitwear will be new and novel, bringing an eclectic element to current knit departments. Women's suits will be sold as two and three piece sets, focusing on detail, color, and the necessity for both day and night time looks.
The sportswear will offer comfort and style, with key outfits delivered each month. Donnkenny plans to start deliveries in January, for limited Spring 05 distribution in the U.S. and Canada. The average price will be in the range of approximately $98.00 retail.
A true American designer, Nicole Miller's perfect "little black dress" has cultivated into an eclectic collection that imbues an individual sense of style.
The company boasts an incredible thirty freestanding Nicole Miller boutiques in prominent cities throughout the United States, each of which serves as a showplace for Ms. Miller and the lifestyle that she has made available to her loyal fans.
All items are available at Nicole Miller stores as well as upscale boutiques and department stores nationwide. For store information call 800-365-4721 or visit
