admin Nicole Miller has taken a few seasons off and is back with a new business focus. Taking her sustainability obsession further, she’s implementing it into her business model. Her line will now become made-to-order with a turnaround period of six to eight weeks for her pieces at fair trade factories, which Miller and her team describe as the first point in the fashion chain for sustainability. Another plus is that they’ll also pay their employees much more.
With a made-to-order process, her pieces will have a slightly higher price point. But Miller wants to guarantee that you will be paying for quality. Her lookbook, which was shot on Fire Island, included models wearing her hand-beaded sequin dresses next to a chlorine-filled swimming pool. By the end of the hot summer day, the models ended up swimming in the pool in the dresses, which at first made Miller distraught, worried what the water would do to the garments. But after a quick hang dry, the dresses and sequins were perfectly intact, guaranteeing their safety for all summer pool parties.
But the standouts of the collection were the simplest. A white cotton set inspired by a trip to Palm Springs included subtle elements of bling and looked perfect for taking you from the beach to dinner, while the classic LBD had a subtle rosette moment on the shoulder.
