Pour l'édition de cette semaine de l' Projet Crochet Designer I’m looking at the fashions of Nina Ricci. I didn’t know this designer until I learned about her from Simon Werle’s 50 Créateurs de mode que vous devez savoir
Fashion Designer Nina Ricci
The first thing I noticed about Nina Ricci is that’s she’s at the beginning of Simon Werle’s book and since the book is in chronological order that means she was a fashion designer awhile ago, and that’s probably why I don’t know about her. Indeed, she was born in the late nineteenth century and starter her first counture apprenticeship in Paris in 1895. Starting in 1908 she had a twenty year career as a fashion designer for the house of Raffin. En 1932 she took a huge risk when she and her son founded their own fashion house despite the poor economy. She was successful and served as the chief designer there until 1954. Her brand is characterized by feminine sophistication. Although I wasn’t familiar with her name, the brand does continue to sell today, and there is some crochet in the brand.
Nina Ricci Crochet
There is a lot of stuff labeled “crochet” in the Nina Ricci brand but a lot of it looks like “machine crochet” (which is not crochet at all – there’s no such thing as a crochet machine – and is really a form of machine knitting). It’s hard to tell in online photos what really is crochet but I did my best … Either way, there’s some pretty designs here.
