Designer Spot Light “NINA RICCI”

The Nina Ricci fashion house dates back to 1932, when times and fashion were completely different. Nina Ricci’s designs were reveled as romantic, feminine and refined. Although decades have since past, the same remains to be true. Today the Creative Director is Peter Copping. Peter Copping has quite the resume, spending 12 years of working with Christian Lacroix, Sonia Rykiel and Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton. He’s managed to keep with the original image and style of the Nina Ricci brand while making sure it reflects modern times.

The main two keys to Nina Ricci pieces are the detailing in construction and the fabrics! Floral jacquards, draped lace, satin pencil skirts, are all examples of a line truly meant for a polished woman. And with the price tags they come with, a woman with quite a bit of disposable income! My favorite thing about this line is the ability to take a sophisticated woman and dress her in a way that makes her feel sensual and mischievous, but yet there’s nothing else you could think of a woman in Nina Ricci that’s short of CLASSY!

Department stores you can find Nina Ricci at are Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. There also online stores that carry some pieces like shopstyle.com and yoox.com.
