Paris, France – At Nina Ricci we find a Resort 2016 collection for the woman whose identity is intertwined in that of the DNA codes of the house. Artist director Guillaume Henry invokes the Fall Winter 2015/16 collection as the starting point. In doing so he calls upon black, yellow, purple, tones and shades of blue, natural hues and floral prints. Through it, we find her a little carefree, yet plunged in deep thought. She expresses this in attire that often times fully reveal the arms and the neckline. She may opt for coats, but she also likes to play with thin straps and a variety of textures such as linens, velvets and even sequins to move her effortlessly from noon time, after 5:00pm and into the night.
