Fashion Journey:

Nicole Hanley Mellon began her fashion journey as the assistant to the Senior Vice President of Children’s Design at Blue Label for Ralph Lauren.  After years of hard work and dedication, she launched HANLEY in 2014 with each collection drawing inspiration from a location traveled by Nicole reflecting her experiences with the people, places, style, culture, and art.  Her vision for the HANLEY label is a sportswear collection of sophisticated designs that reflect Nicole's life and style that can fit seamlessly into ones wardrobe.  Follow Nicole's journey around the world through her journal as she writes about the people, places, experiences, and cultures that inspire her for the HANLEY woman.

Why we love her Spring / Summer 2016 collection:

Drawing inspiration from Nicole’s visit to Havana, Cuba, her Spring / Summer 2016 collection reflects the city's architectural layers of faded colors, signs of decay, censorship, artistic expression, and military themes.  A-typical color combinations of brick and peach or mustard and chartreuse are central to the collections sophisticated sportswear design intended to be mixed and matched throughout the series or worn independently.  If you’re looking for weekend wear or vacation apparel inspiration, look no further than Nicole Hanley Mellon's Spring / Summer 2016 collection highlighting sheer layers mixed to create unpredictable pallets of texture and pattern influenced by local artisans providing a unique design and glimpse into exotic Cuba.
