Nikki had an amazing line of clothes called Eccentric Symphony and distributed her music as the hangtag…I was a fan. I called her up and it all started from there.” – Richie Sambora

The collection will be debuting in stores this autumn and available on-line from this July. the WTB Collection has already found celebrity fans including Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Ann Inaba, Heather Locklear, Miley Cyrus Stealing Angels and Jon Bon Jovi.
