I love the Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear Collection:
I saw the above dress and the dress above that in the Nina Ricci shop in Paris on Avenue Montaigne.
The dress above had a really interesting feature which was that the hems were basically unfinished. My friend didn't like this about the dress, but I actually did. I think it made it look more flowing, if the hems were finished I think it would have looked to formal and clean or even stiff, I quite liked the way it looked slightly rough whilst being a really nice dress.
I like this collection because the colours - pale pinks/nudes and blacks, reminded me of vintage inspired, and antiques.
The lace and the chiffon also added to the vintage feel of the collection. But the collection was also quite edgy with the way the fabrics were put together in a slightly messy looking way but organised at the same time.
This collection would make me feel like a princess if I wore it, I think.
I also love the Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection:
I really liked the huge fabric roses used on skirts and dresses in this collection. They make me want to reach out and touch them to feel the texture of the fabrics.
I also liked the way they've carried on the nude colours into Fall but making them warmer.
I love the use of the faux fur trimmings, reminds me of hand muffs. Maybe hand muffs will come into fashion? I can imagine rich women wearing Nina Ricci outfits with hand muffs out in the cold... Very chic.
Peter Copping please carry on going down this route, I think you're doing well this year.
I looooove it.
