Growing up on tour with her famous dad, Nicole Richie was undoubtedly influenced by the world of entertainers and designers whom she met on the road. Taking inspiration from all the costumes and glamour, the Los Angeles native launched her clothing line Winter Kate and her accessories range House of Harlow (both named for her daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden) in 2009. See Nicole Richie on NYLON TV! Fast forward three years, and Richie's Fall/ Winter 2012 collection is loaded with loud, retro geometric patterns like the black and white herringbone dress, teal and black rose blouse, and a black laser-cut skirt. (Channel a more colorful Morticia Addams and you've got the right idea.) Get the Psychedelic Morticia look with the new Dark Shadows palette. The accessories include cross earrings, engraved bone bracelets, snake rings, and round doe-eyed sunglasses. You probably already own things like them, but just in case, these are cute. Even so, the real love affair here is with the clothes, which may not come out for another six months, but that doesn't stop us from wanting them right now.

PS: Recognize Spacey Tracy's muse, Nathalie Love, as Nicole's newest model?!
