Nina Ricci (birth name Maria Adélaide Nielli) was born on January 14,1883 in Turin, Italy. She was an Italian-born French fashion designer.

Nina Ricci moved with her family to France in 1895 aged 12. When Ricci was 13 she began an apprenticeship with a dressmaker.

Throughout her teenage years, Nina continued to chase her love for the fashion world. Along the way, she married Luigi Ricci, a composer and jewelry designer in 1904. The couple had a son named Robert. Four years after her marriage, in 1908 she joined Raffin, a fashion house, as a designer and worked there for next two decades. Soon she became a partner of Raffin and in 1932 became capable of establishing her own design company. At the time, Nina was forty-nine years old and was curious to create designs herself under her name. She designed the dresses while her son managed the finances and business on the whole. In order to make sure that the fabrics fitted together in the right way, she worked on the mannequin directly. Shortly, all her design collections became popular for their feminine, romantic and refined feel.

All through the thirties, the Nina Ricci House expanded rapidly and the one room place became three buildings with eleven floors each. The business operations, by the second world war, developed and included trendy accessories and leather commodities.

After the war, in 1945, designers tried to revive women’s infatuation with haute couture like before and at the same time attempted to raise money for relief funds. With the help of Lucien Lelong, Chambre de Commerce, Robert Ricci put his idea into action. An exhibition was held at Louvre, where more than 145 mannequins from 40 fashion designers in Paris, including Grès and Balenciaga were dressed in the best designs by the labels. After succeeding with this plan in one city, the exhibit toured most parts of Europe and then USA.

In 1935, Nina described the way she desired to design dresses: they should be light weighted, flowy and perfect for dancing; elegance and detail of the dress should attract clients and become their favorite; and lastly they need to be sober and appealing to young fashion minds.

Nina Ricci sketched out her ideas on paper, with colors and placing the model in a setting. She was highly proficient in using fabrics and other materials. Whenever she found a fabric she liked, it was used in the most effective manner. For example, once she saw black floral bordered silk and she cut a dress pattern that fitted flowers on the bust and the rest of the gown was plain black.

She dedicated most of her life to this field and loved dressing women. The geographical locations of her birth and youthful years, Italy and France, helped Nina to develop a strong aesthetic sense for quixotic, luxurious and distinguished clothing. Nina herself wore exclusive clothes and jewelry, designed by her husband, to parties.

In 1948, Nina’s label introduced L’Air du Temps, which was co-designed by her son and Marc Lalique. In the 1950s, when Nina was almost seventy years old, she gradually departed from design and chose to only direct the house. In 1954, Jules Francois Crahay became the head designer of the brand.

Nina Ricci  died in 1970 at the age of 87 and eighteen years later her son died too. The company they found is now being run by Robert’s son-in-law, Gilles Fuchs.

L'air du temps by Nina Ricci?

Classical, loverly, insouciant: adorable since 1948!

Nina Ricci, born Maria Nielli in Turin in 1883 (on the 14th January, day of Saint Nina), immigrated in France at age twelve, moving from town to town until she commenced her apprenticeship in Paris to become a seamstress. She didn’t know how to draw and made all her dresses directly on the mannequin, but she was talented, and in 1908 she was hired as a stylist by a fashion house of excellent repute, working her way to a position as an associate to the founder and main couturier, so that the name of the house became Raffin & Ricci—she had married Luigi Ricci in 1904, the son of a jeweller, and their son Robert was 3 when Nina entered Maison Raffin. However, in 1929, Monsieur Raffin died, and Nina Ricci closed the house for good, electing to retire. That is, until her son left his job as a publicist to open for his mother her own fashion house in 1932. Nina dealt with the couture part, Robert ran the business, but it was he also who launched the perfume collection—with Cœur joie, concocted by one of the very first female perfumers, the great, brave and bold Germaine Cellier—in December 1945.

L’Air du Temps was born three years later, in a time when fashion reflected a sort of general exhilaration amongst the recently-liberated population, even though the postwar period had its own hardships. France was destroyed just as much by Allied strategic bombing than by German ones and the country was being rebuilt, the industry modernised—Europe’s development was stalled by the two world wars, whilst the United States advanced steadily—and in France the temporary government led by General Charles de Gaulle imitated the American New Deal, nationalising a large part of the industry, implementing a planned economy, and thanks to powerful unions (Americans usually believe that they won WWII for everybody but in reality, the communists did quite a lot), other types of victories were won, such as the 1946 Social Security. In the midst of all that buzzing activity began a period referred to by later historians as ‘the Glorious Thirty’ (les Trente Glorieuses), and business went booming both for the French birth rate and for the fashion industry...

L’Air du Temps translates as ‘the air of the time’, part of a phrase that means one lives with one’s times; to ‘be in’ that air is to be fashionable. But that title conjures up also images of airy things, flight and freedom, as illustrated on the initial stopper, where Spanish sculptor Joan Rebull, who designed the first bottle, engraved a flying dove. In 1951, Marc Lalique (the son of prestigious crystal sculptor and jeweller René Lalique, a figure of the Art Nouveau period and a pioneer in designing beautiful perfume bottles), who had conceived the bottle for Cœur Joie, collaborated with Nina Ricci to redesign the bottle and created perhaps the most famous perfume flagon ever made, and certainly one of the most beautiful:

L’Air du Temps too is beautiful. It is an absolutely luminous perfume, light and cheerful, elegant and sophisticated yet good-humoured, never superficial, friendly, a little bit daring, at the same time youthful and timeless, with a retro vibe that comes from the powdery orris root and the spicy carnation, adding warmth but also a little foxiness to the mix. It is a floral, a giant bouquet at that, but so well blended and so tastefully arranged that the rose, ylang and violet simply add their impressionistic touches but never overpower; the star of the juice remains the falsely-simple carnation, the spiciest of flowers—its natural scent is due for a large part to eugenol, the molecule responsible for the very peculiar smell of cloves. In perfumery, one typically recreates the scent of a carnation using lots of eugenol, balsamic notes (preferably cinnamaldehyde), rose, ylang, heliotropin (named after the ‘cherry pie’ notes found in heliotrope flowers, i.e. sunflowers), powdery iris (orris) root, maybe a little vanilla... You get the picture: L’Air du Temps is, indeed, a carnation scent.

The downside of this delightful recipe is that the ever-abominably frustrating IFRA, the International Fragrance Association, has greatly limited the use of eugenol in perfumery, down to 0.5% maximum (although toothpaste may contain up to 4.3%...), because of the potential risk of accrued skin sensitivity for people with allergies. A vastly overestimated risk, in reality, but there are very powerful lobbies in Brussels and the European Union, which has made the fabled precautionary principle statutory, doesn’t make a difference between perfumery, cosmetics and, say, life-threatening pesticides used in industrial agriculture. The E.U. therefore is terrified of oakmoss. To the detriment of all perfume lovers.

Still, L’Air du Temps managed, somewhat miraculously, to remain true to itself despite the imposed reformulations. It has lost in power indeed, in opulence perhaps, its staying power, predictably, has waned; but it still is just as loverly as it was in its youth. Most mirthful carnation ever! And especially exhilarating to me today because there aren’t that many carnations in contemporary perfumery—not just because of IFRA regulations, mind you, but because current women’s fashion is all about synthetic fruit with sticky praline notes and a hefty dose of tart patchouli, or transparent, nondescript florals. Carnation love peaked in the Interwar period, notably thanks to perfumer Ernest Daltroff, founder of house Caron (where men’s perfumery was invented, basically) who loved carnation and used it in several great perfumes of the Twenties, chiefly 1927 Bellodgia, but L’Air du Temps visibly inspired a few notable fragrances of the 60s–80s (including the wondrous Opium, in 1977). After that, it nearly vanished from perfumes altogether... until the 2010s, as a matter of fact, when Serge Lutens released Vitriol d’Œillet in 2011, the cloviest of carnations, and assumedly started carnation’s new career. It still isn’t fashionable, but it’s damn chic, and featured in remarkable fragrances, especially in niche perfumery.

Good morning everyone! How are you feeling today?

Nina Ricci, a designer who changed the face of the fashion world. What do we owe her?

Designers don't die as long as their names remain brands, Madame Carven used to say. So we dare to say that Nina Ricci is still present among us. Although more than 50 years have passed since then, her legacy is still alive and the fashion house she created from scratch is still considered one of the most influential brands in the history of fashion. What was the life and work of the legendary creator like? 🍀🍒🐥💋

Maria Nielli, because that was her real name. She came from a family of shoemakers, so creating fashion was in her blood. At the age of 7, she leaves Italy with her relatives and settles in France, which will prove to be her home for life.

Until 1932, she works as a chief designer for renowned fashion houses. However, there comes a moment when he decides to open a brand under his own name. Nina Ricci opens her brand with her son. She, the main designer and creative director. He, commercial director and advertising specialist. Together, they form a duo that takes the hearts of Parisians by storm. 🍒💛🌷💗

Her surname becomes a brand loved by townspeople. Nina Ricci did not want to dress aristocracy, stars and princesses. This distinguished it from the competition of that time, which was focused on creating for the upper class. Nina decided to create something new, without complexes. Her style was based on three pillars: functionality, beautiful workmanship and self-confidence without extravagance. The basis of the Nina Ricci style is the observance of one mandatory rule: bringing out all the brilliance that is in simplicity

What do you think about this design and whole fashion collection? Did you enjoyed it and would you like to see more of it?What is your opinion about this outfit? Do you like it? Tell me about you thoughts about this outfit in comments.
