Velvet Celebrity Digest

Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

In 2018, Richards announced on Instagram that her original boutique would be hosting an everything must go sale, with the caption "We are moving! Stay tuned for updates." This news came shortly after Richards was forced to downsize both her New York City and Hamptons locations of the boutique (via Heavy). Allegedly, Richards chose to distance herself from the Alene Too brand due to creative differences (via Distractify), but Richards is still in the clothing business.

According to Page Six, Richards shut down the Beverly Hills location of her boutique in favor of another "brick and mortar store in West Hollywood" that would also offer an e-commerce site and men's options. In the "RHOBH" Season 10 premiere, fans were offered a sneak peek at some of these fashions. Richards partnered with designer Shahida Clayton to launch their brand Kyle and Shahida, a "resort ready-to-wear collection" at New York City Fashion Week. The runway show featured custom-printed separates, jumpsuits, dusters, blazers, vegan leather leggings, rompers, dresses, and even a few of her fellow cast members as models.

"I wanted to do a collection that looked fashionable, elegant, chic and comfortable, with beautiful wildlife and nature prints. I'm an avid animal and nature lover, and wanted that reflected in the line," Richards told WWD. While we're still waiting for the West Hollywood location to launch, the Kyle and Shahida website is up and running.
