I could have just received royalty checks every month by lending my name to a collection, but I didn't want to do that. My name is a reflection of me.
From Nicky Hilton
Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted Valentino to design my wedding dress. Valentino is the definition of timeless elegance. I don't think there's another couture house like it.
I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.
When I was a kid I had this funny blonde hair and everyone called me 'Chick' because I looked like Tweety Bird.
These are clothes my friends and I could wear. This ain't Prada. I don't want to be one of those celebrities that slaps their name on a label and collects royalty checks. Everything on that runway reflects me.
When I signed the license, I thought the media wasn't going to pick up on it if I used my real name, Nicholai Hilton.
I interned at 'Hamptons' magazine. I was 12. I walked around with a pad and was like, 'What do you guys want for lunch?' to all the people who worked there.
My fashion philosophy is that if I like it, I wear it.
I'm not a snob about which looks are 'this season' and which are 'last season.'
I always wanted to be a teacher.
