Nicky Hilton to Show New Line At New York Fashion Week

Despite the fact that no one really cares what Nicky Hilton designs (or claims to design), she is still at it again. The Fug Girls report in New York Magazine:

"The New York Fashion Week overlords have a wicked sense of humor, rewarding Nicky Hilton's lack of criminal record by letting her debut her ready-to-wear line, Nicholai, during the spring '08 festivities. Yes, the girl who almost never wears shoes that fit, has one failed collection already, and bailed out of presenting in Miami earlier this year because of a "scheduling conflict" (amid rumors it wasn't ready, and stank) has been granted a spot on one of fashion's biggest stages. As if Heatherette wasn't enough of a fiasco."

Is this true? If she was anyone else but heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune, this would not be happening. Bad designers do not deserve to be in NY Fashion Week; she is getting in solely because she's a celebrity, and that makes absolutely no sense to me. I smell nepotism!
