Nicole Richie to launch her own fashion footwear

Washington, Apr 1 (ANI): American socialite Nicole Richie has decided to take her fashion line further by signing a deal to launch her own line of shoes.

Richie, 27, has already made waves with her first collection under the name House of Harlow 1960, after her items sold out in an online pre-sale earlier this year, even before they had time to hit shelves.

As per Women's Wear Daily, she will add a line of around 20 shoe styles, new bags, belts and small accessories to debut in the spring of 2010.

Richie's business partner Rick Cytrynbaum has insisted that the socialite is taking extra care of her new designs.

"Nicole is designing everything herself. She's totally devoted to this, and we're creating a whole lifestyle around her aesthetic and what is true to her," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. (ANI)
