ABOUT OUR COLLECTIONS

Dear visitors,

After the success of "A History of Fashion", our second collections tour will open to the public in June 2023.

This next collections tour will be an opportunity for you to discover a new history of fashion, from the 18th century to the present day, through our exceptional collections presented in a new theme dedicated to the body in motion.

The link between fashion and sport will be the subject of the second display of this new collections tour, echoing the Olympic Games that will be held in Paris in 2024.

In October 2018, Nina Ricci appointed a couple of young fashion designers: Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh. Both Dutch, he trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and she at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute. They won the prize at the International Fashion Festival in Hyères in 2018 for their playful men's fashion collection, inspired by observing the wardrobe of young Caribbean immigrants to Europe and fishermen from the Caribbean region.

For this first collection, Lisi Herrebrugh confided to the press that she had started from a blank page to compose this collection by drawing on the house's archive collection.

Elegant, the silhouette of passage n°34 is covered with a large bell hat inspired by those in fashion at the beginning of the 60s. The long, slightly oversized anthracite woollen coat is illuminated by an electric blue jersey application in the shape of a swimming costume, inspired by the baskets kept in the Nina Ricci archives. This offbeat element of surprise that awakens the uncluttered chic of this silhouette is the same as the one deployed in their own brand, Botter.
