Nina Ricci was founded by Maria "Nina" Ricci and her son Robert in 1932; the fashion house is now under the creative direction of Peter Copping. His education at both Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art plus his accomplished training at Christian Lacroix, Sonia Rykiel and Marc Jacobs, as well as Louis Vuitton for twelve years, has sufficiently prepared him for the task of steering the iconic brand. Copping's interpretation of the Nina Ricci woman is both sensual, sweet and playful, she always looks modern and is armed with a sharp eye for cut, fabric and detailing.
