Nicole Miller signs sportswear license

Nicole Miller has announced a licensing deal with The Moret Group for the development and distribution of sportswear under the Nicole Miller New York brand. The sportswear division will be an extension of Nicole Miller New York (NMNY) diffusion label.

The first collection will launch in stores for Spring 2018, and features multiple categories ranging from knits to jackets and daywear pieces. Taking cues from Nicole Miller's Collection and Artelier lines, the Nicole Miller New York sportswear developed by The Moret Group features tailored lines, appliqués and floral prints.

"We began manufacturing women's activewear and sportswear over 40 years ago, standing behind a commitment to design, quality, and consistency. Nicole Miller is an iconic New York designer, who is known worldwide for her same stance," said Michael Shweky of The Moret Group. "Nicole's designs are timeless and instantly recognizable, and The Moret Group is excited at the opportunity to add her name into our portfolio."

Nicole Miller said: "Sportswear is a fast-growing part of our business at the Artelier level. We've had a lot of success with dresses in our Nicole Miller New York diffusion label, so adding sportswear is the perfect next step for that line. The price point also helps us get in touch with a younger audience that wants to step into the Nicole Miller world."

The debut line will be placed in stores where Nicole Miller New York is already sold. Price points for the collection will range from 48 dollars for knit tops to 148 dollars for jackets.
