Born in Nice and trained in fashion design, Nicole began her career in Paris as a freelance designer before moving to London in the early 1970's to work with Stephen Marks on the French Connection brand. In 1983 Marks launched Nicole Farhi label giving Nicole the opportunity to design a collection more in tune with her personal philosophy.

Farhi provided the solution for every working woman's weekend wardrobe. The Nicole Farhi brand has continued to grow.
