Among internationally known American designers, Nicole Miller is as beloved as they come. In her 25 years as a contemporary designer, she has built a label that is at once accessible and inspirational, touching all sectors of society.

Not bad for a small town girl from Texas who went on to be trained at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design and the exclusive L’Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. 

Since then, her fresh, vibrant designs — which are full of color and interesting textures — have captured a cult following. Chief among them are stylish celebrities like Cassie, the Simmons sisters, and Tatiana Ali.

See how they wear Miller — and be inspired!
