For their third season at the helm of Nina Ricci, Creative Director Harris Reed offers a nuanced vision that marries the House’s historic elegance with a palpable sense of modernity with the Fall Winter 2024 collection. This collection crystallizes Reed’s dialogue with the Nina Ricci legacy, sharpening its focus on tailoring that has both architectural precision and a touch of flamboyance. The pieces, meticulously cut close to the body and presented in contrasting fabrics, play a game of reveal and conceal, crafting a tension that’s as alluring as it is confident.
Drawing inspiration from an iconic Richard Avedon photograph of Suzy Parker in Nina Ricci, Reed goes into the archives to reinterpret the glamour emblematic of the Parisian streets. The collection blends menswear-inspired structures with 1960s elegance, as seen in the glamorous reinterpretation of tuxedo jackets and the modern revival of the iconic crocus suit. The silhouette is both a nod to the past and a bold step forward, with peplum jackets, liquid-like evening gowns, and asymmetric skirts that celebrate the female form.
Beyond the tailoring, the Nina Ricci Fall Winter 24 indulges in sensuality through draped silk dresses and sheer ensembles, complemented by faux-shearling hoods and pillbox hats that add character and charisma. The introduction of lace bodysuits under faux fur coats and the strategic use of deep-V necklines and bare shoulders playfully suggest skin. The couture bow motif, reimagined as a sculptural element rather than mere decoration, alongside bold graphic jewelry designed in collaboration with Hugo Kreit, rounds off the collection’s dramatic yet refined aesthetic. In partnership with Charlotte Tilbury, the beauty look for the presentation encapsulates the collection’s fluid romanticism.
