Kara Laricks Fashion Star Winner

Were you watching NBC’s new hit Fashion Star on Tuesday night? I couldn’t help but feel immense admiration for Kara Laricks who is the first winner of the reality show. Laricks, who is a former fourth grade teacher, followed her dream of becoming a fashion designer and made it through the competition to earn the grand prize of Fashion Star- a $6 million deal for her collections with Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and H&M.

The exclusive collections are available in stores now and online at Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. Laricks stayed true to the menswear elements that helped win the attention of the buyers from the three retailers.

I love that all of  the pieces are very versatile, and will probably pair nicely with items you already have in your closet. My favorite piece is a long black skirt with sexy slits on both sides of the legs. It’s a cool look with a contemporary twist that can be dressed up or worn casually. It’s available at H&M now! I hope to see much more from the talented designer and a Fashion Star winner!

Fashion maven Nicole Richie will design a capsule collection for Macy’s to debut in September, according to WWD. The line will consist of 24 to 30 pieces for her new project, Nicole Richie for Impulse. The collection for women will be available in about 100 Macy’s locations and at Macy’s.com.

I’m especially excited that the personal bohemian style of the Fashion Star mentor and judge will be reflected in her affordable line at Macy’s. I love her inspirations for her fashion labels Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960. As a designer she knows how to incorporate the styles of the 1970′s, and she embraces the music, fashion and flavor of the era. Her enviable fashion sense is something that I look forward to every week on the NBC hit show Fashion Star.

Images of the Nicole Richie for Impulse collection will be posted later this summer. Will you be shopping for Nicole Richie’s line at Macy’s?
