The set and the man himself who, I would like to point out (mainly for nambla's benefit), is long-haired, suitably fit, and quite handsome (in a "not made for this world" kind of way)

Re: Nina Ricci F/W 07-08
What an amazing collection. I wouldn't expect less of him, he is extremely talented. And when I think how young he is (still), I am happy that fashion has him and will have him for many years to come. I just wish someone gave Jurgi Persoons an opportunity to design too. Oh well.
EDIT: Just thought about his talent in another way; this, Rochas, and his own work are completely different, but everything he touches turns to gold. What a smart move on Nina Ricci's part!
I hope they price this collection right. Not too many people can pay $4k for a suit. I am positive we will see this at Barneys - can't wait!

Re: Nina Ricci F/W 07-08
I honestly got emotional just looking at this. I can't imagine wearing any of it, but I'm so happy that it exists.
The knits really capture the mood of the collection for me--very strong and soft, sort of melancholy...
I think the prices will be comparable to Alaia. You will have to go with me to Barney's, because I might get all teary. [:$]...I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.Comment

Re: Nina Ricci F/W 07-08
/\ haha, ok, you can cry on my shoulder.
I am not sure it will be a good move to price this collection so high. I mean, it didn't work for Rochas, why should it work for NR? Especially in the US, noone gives a crap about her, but people do about Theyskens.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Yea, it really is sad. He disappeared and noone even sounded the alarm (except Scott on tFS)

Re: Nina Ricci F/W 07-08
Oh the yellow gown is nice. It's good that he hasmoved a bit away from the preciousness in Rochas, and played less attention tofloor length gowns. It's younger looking isn't it.Comment

Re: Nina Ricci F/W 07-08
Thank you for posting the pics. I don't know much history about the designer.
Beautiful gown/dresses. I really like the hairy sweater too. Looks like roots wrap around the body.Comment
