Nina Ricci
Brand
Nina Ricci is a fashion house that was founded by Maria "Nina" Ricci and her son Robert in Paris in 1932. The brand rapidly expanded over the next few decades, thanks to its refined, romantic, and always feminine aesthetic. In 1948, Robert created beauty history by introducing the now-iconic L’Air du Temps fragrance, which continues to be a top seller today. After Maria Ricci's death in 1970, Jules-Francois Crahay was appointed head of the house while Robert continued to excel in perfumery and business until his death in 1988. Massimo Guissain's family purchased the house of Nina Ricci and in 2003 Lars Nilsson took over the house. Three years later, Olivier Theyskens of Rochas took over the role as head of the label. So far, his collections have won praise by fashion critics for his ability to channel the house’s airy romance through chiffon layers and jeweled accents while consistently creating glamour with a Parisienne-punk edge.
