Lately Nina Ricci has been capturing my eye. I know that it’s been around for quite some time but lately I have the urge to look around and see what the house of Nina Ricci has produced.
I know that Olivier Theyskens is in control now. He was announced to be in control only back in 2006. He tends to add himself into most of the designs. That’s what a good designer would do.
The pants on the Nina Ricci RTW Fall 2008 runway were swishing up a storm. Most of the pants had excess fabric at the top near the hips and then came in tight at the bottom. It was almost a skinny legged wind pant. Most of the girls adorned caps and sashes. It is chilly in the fall. Some of the girls even had on gloves that pulled the outfit together. The collection stayed a little safe but that’s what Ready To Wear is for. It varied a little when one girl came out with pants and a long jacket and then one came out with a mini dress on.
Overall I liked the collection. I don’t know ,if I was a girl, that I would run right out and get it. It’s more basic clothing that you have to pair with something more outrageous. I like to have colors going and the most vibrant color they used was a fall yellow.
(At the moment, I can’t post the pictures, but take a peak at 17 and 29)
