Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2011

[mackos]

If there are any celebrity stylists still scrambling to find the dress for their client's Golden Globe appearance this coming Sunday, please direct your attention to look 16 from Peter Copping's Nina Ricci pre-fall collection. Sultry yet still demurely covered up, the navy knit gown with a plunging black lace back is an award winner in our book. Since taking over the reins at the romantic French label in 2009, Copping has had the most success with dresses, and there were lots of lovely options at his intimate show this morning. In addition to that red-carpet stunner, he showed a polka-dot chiffon that fell in tiers to the floor and a bustier hourglass number in tweed, both of which were worn over clingy knit sweaters for a played down, casual look. A black dress in pleats and lace, meanwhile, was layered over a polka-dot bra that matched the bows on the model's patent pumps. "I call it the new twinset," Copping laughed.

He was joking, of course, but that sort of charming detail is becoming one of his hallmarks. You saw it in the unusual Japanese-made lace embroidered with paillettes and jewels that he used for a 1950's-ish cocktail dress and in the drawstring-gathered neck of a jade green sweater paired with a cerise pink knit pencil skirt. A bold way with color is another signature Copping is developing, and he hinted that it would be an important direction for his upcoming Fall show.

I think Coppings is doing such a great job at Ricci!! it's almost like I can't remember what Theyskens did for the house any more (and that's coming from a truly die hard fan of theyskens!!)

THe new designer, very much like his predecessor did only few years ago, has been able to define and give us a clear idea of what the "femme Ricci" is. I love how every piece has this soir side to it, it's all very endimanché but in a fun and youthful way that works for both day and night. very nice!

His collections keep growing on me. I'm just loving what he's doing with the label. I just love that there's this ladylike attitude within the clothes but for a modern 20 year old.

Copping is doing just perfectly fine at Nina Ricci. I think he somehow transform the house and establish the Ricci girl.
