Born in Italy, Maria "Nina" Ricci started her career in fashion at the mere age of 13, taking on an apprenticeship with a local dressmaker after she had moved to France from Turin. Founding her eponymous house with her son in 1932, Ricci became known for crafting romantic pieces that exuded sophistication. Later branching out into fragrances, the house of Nina Ricci evolved into the destination for haute couture that embraced femininity, steadily growing and expanding through the years with the help of many talented creative directors that breathed new life in each iteration. Today, Nina Ricci crafts a wide range of pieces for women that sit in the delicate balance of luxurious richness and simple elegance.
