We’ve just heard that Nicole Richie’s past in modelling, having already been the face of Bongo Jeans and Jimmy Choo ad campaigns, could be reignited if rumours are to be believed.

According to recent reports, the TV personality turned fashion designer is in talks to be the face of Halston – the brand not only known for its irresistible cocktail dresses and glamorous draped gowns, but also for the controversy surrounding Sarah Jessica Parker and head designer Marios Schwab leaving the fashion house earlier this year.

With a label that seems very up in the air, we’re interested to see what move Halston makes next, and whether Nicole Richie makes for a good comeback strategy.

A source told Showbiz Spy: “They wanted someone with Nicole’s fashion credentials. She is the perfect ambassador for Halston and even wore one of their gowns to the launch of her own fashion brand last week.”

While we think Richie would photograph beautifully in Halston, we can’t help but think she’d be more suited designing for the brand that was at its height in the 70s. After all, Richie is known for her love of 70s fashion and vintage pieces.

So far, the reports are not confirmed, but Models Direct wants to know what you think – would you like to see Nicole Richie model or design for Halston?
