Nicole's new collection...

Nicole Ritchie has been discussing her new up-and-coming collection, Winter Kate.

The collection, which is named after her daughter Harlow's middle names, is described by Nicole as 'read-to-wear' and will be available on My-Wardrobe.com from January 2010.

She's says about the line: "Fashion should be accessible, that was my philosophy when designing House of Harlow 1960 and it remains my philosophy for Winter Kate."

The new Mum hasn't had much time off, saying:

"I started working on this collection in early 2009, the pieces can be dressed up, made casual but most importantly, they provide the wearer a means of self-expression and fun."

The collection, which is a follow- up to Richie's jewelry line, House of Harlow 1960, features her trademark maxi dresses, as well as ethnic-print tunics and delicate chiffon and lace jackets.

Womenswear buyer Joanne Watkinson told Vogue.com: "After the success of Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960 jewellery range we waited with baited breath for the arrival of a ready-to-wear collection from the woman who has inspired a dozen trends."

"The excitement at my-wardrobe was palpable at the thought of being able to steal her style at affordable prices."

Miss Richie will follow this collection with a footwear line.
