In recent years, singers and actresses have turned their hand to designing, some including Gwen Stefani, Victoria Beckham and Jessica Simpson, with great success.
Miss Richie has already tipped her toe into the world of fashion when she launched her jewellery and accessories line House of Harlow in 2007 and then went onto release a collection of shoes and bags in 2009 ans 2011 respectively.
Not only has been spotted on the front row of Paris Fashion Week, at Louis Vuitton no less, but she will also be appearing as a mentor on the new series Fashion Star in February.
2011 has been a big year for the actress and socialite as she debuted her read to wear line under Winter Kate, which sees her take inspiration from her rock, hippy, vintage persona we have come to know and love as Nicoles personal style.
Richie is creating a lot of buzz and media attention for herself at the moment with her potential launch into the competitive industry. With collections and connections in all the right places, we're looking forward to seeing what she has next up her talented and oh-so-trendy sleeve.
