About the brand
Nina Ricci is a prestigious fashion house founded in Paris in 1932 by Italian-born designer Maria "Nina" Ricci and her son Robert. Maria, who had worked for over two decades at the fashion house Raffin, brought her unique approach to design by working directly with fabrics on mannequins to ensure perfect fit and shape. Her designs quickly became renowned for their refined, romantic, and distinctly feminine aesthetic that attracted French actresses, aristocrats, and sophisticated clientele. The brand expanded rapidly through the 1930s, growing from a single room to three eleven-floor buildings. In 1941, Robert Ricci created the company's perfume division, launching iconic fragrances including L'Air du Temps in 1948, which remains a bestseller today. Nina Ricci has been owned by the Spanish beauty and fashion group Puig since 1998, continuing to embody the founder's vision of creating lightweight, elegant designs perfect for the modern woman who values timeless sophistication.
