Nicole Richie for Halston?

His to-die-for dresses were synonymous with bohemian New York in the seventies, Studio 54's dancefloor and some of the most stylish women the world has ever seen, so it may come as little surprise that queen of boho, Nicole Richie is apparently in talks to become the face of fashion brand, Halston after Sarah-Jessica Parker's departure this summer.

Showbizspy is reporting that Halston have approached Nicole in the hope that she will bring a new customer to the brand, and turn its struggling sales around. She is the much lauded designer behind hit boho brands, Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960 after all.

"They wanted someone with Nicole's fashion credentials," a source told the site.

"She is the perfect ambassador for Halston and even wore one of their gowns to the launch of her own fashion brand last week (above)."

And there's talk that she might even design her own collection for the legendary brand. "She'd love to produce a capsule collection with them", the source added.

Halston's iconic design (he invented the halter neck, pillar box hat and slinky jersey) was worn by Jackie O, Elizabeth Taylor, Angelica Taylor and Bianca Jagger in the seventies, but the brand has been less successful since his death in 1990.

Nicole has certainly come a long way since The Simple Life.
