The Designer: She is so well established as a designer who designs sympathetically for like-minded women that she needs little explanation. Born in Nice and trained in fashion design, she moved to London in the early 1970’s to work with Stephen Marks on the French Connection brand. She launched her own label with Marks in 1982 and added a very successful mens-wear collection in 1989. Two diffusion ranges called Farhi now exist for both men and womens-wear. Her flagship store in Bond Street, London houses her collections, her home-wares, swimwear and accessories plus her popular eponymous restaurant. There is an almost identical store just off Madison Avenue in New York. London. She has won many awards for both her mens and womens-wear collections; sculpts for a little more than relaxation and is married to the playwright David Hare.

The Collections: There’s the easy tailoring for a busy, working woman, the great relaxed and often luxurious leisure pieces, the chic feminine evening looks and wonderful knitwear, all executed with classy, understated style. Her collections also include her menswear ranges, accessories and swimwear. Her first fragrances, called Nicole Farhi Femme and Nicole Farhi, were launched in 2005 and her mens fragrance Nicole Farhi Homme won a Fifi award last year.

News: Two new fragrances Nicole Farhi Bleu Azur for women and Nicole Farhi Bleu Intense for men launch in September 2007.

Instant view: Her store at New Bond Street, London W1 and 10 East 60th Street, New York. She has 11 free-standing stores internationally, 20 concessions nationwide and stockists throughout the world.

Most of these silhouettes are very outdated, but I like the colors and fabrics she used.
