Nicole Richie and Pete Wentz teamed up with Switch Boutique in SoCal last night to throw a fashion show in order to showcase each celebs’ new line of products. House of Harlow 1960 jewelry and Clandestine Industries streetwear were paired up in an effort to show the public what they can expect from the two design houses. Here are pics of Pete Wentz, Nicole Richie and her burgeoning baby bump at the fashion show last night:

What happens when two of Hollywood’s hippest designers team up for a runway show? Last night’s House of Harlow, Clandestine Industries and Switch boutique runway show! Nicole Richie, who was modeling her own designs, added her House of Harlow 1960 pieces to feminine fashions from Switch boutique, telling PEOPLE that she picked based on “complimenting the outfit,” while Pete Wentz went for an individualized approach to his models. “[It's] just about streetwear so I let the guy pick. Whatever looked best on the individual.” Budding girl group Paradiso Girls opened the show with a quick performance and special guest spot by rapper Eve. With Wentz’s wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Richie’s partner Joel Madden watching on, the male models donned high top sneakers, T-shirts saying things like I (heart) BX, hoodies, and fedoras from Clandestine Industries. The ladies walked the runway in black mini skirts, back stretch pants with holes cut into them, heels with neon green soles and hot pink peep toe, jumpsuits with white lace lining and gold belts as accents to Nicole’s bold jewelry. Wentz thanked the audiences with “Thank you for checking out our lines,” just before rockers The Academy Is… closed the evening with a short performance.
It only makes sense that two celebs with semi-equal celebrity lines of clothing/jewelry would team up to showcase their wares in this way. To be honest, I’m surprised neither of them thought about teaming up before now. As some of you already know, the Madden brothers own DCMA Clothing and, I suspect, plans are in the works to mebbe put together a way to showcase both House of Harlow 1960 and DCMA at a future fashion show. As a sidebar, I’m loving how big Nicole’s baby bump is already … it looks like it won’t be long now before Nicole and Joel Madden are welcoming the birth of their second child. We still do not know if it is a boy or a girl … but how adorable would a little boy addition to the family be?
