Nicole Farhi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicole Farhi (born July 25, 1946) is a French fashion designer and sculptor of Algerian descent who was born in Nice in France and is now based in London.
She started her career in Paris doing freelance work, before moving to London in the 1970s to work with Stephen Marks on his French Connection label. Their professional relationship resulted in a personal relationship, and they had a daughter before separating.
In 1983, she created her own eponymous fashion label, which now has shops worldwide, as well as restaurants in London and New York.
She is married to the British dramatist David Hare.
In February 2007 she was a signatory to the declaration of the Independent Jewish Voice, a new Jewish network, calling for an open and critical debate over Israel and criticising certain Jewish organisations' unconditional support of Israel.
