The fashion house Nina Ricci was born in 1932 in Paris by Maria Nina Ricci and her son Robert. Nina Ricci designed clothes while Robert took care of the managerial side of the company, worked with fabrics directly on the mannequins, without any particular need to make sketches of their clothes, in order to guarantee a perfect shape once the work was finished. Nina Ricci's products soon became known for their refinement, romanticism and femininity.
