French fashion house Nina Ricci has contracted a young Dutch design duo as its new creative directors.
Rushemy Botter, 33, and Lisi Herrebrugh, 29, are the award-winning designers behind Dutch menswear label Botter which earned them the prestigious Grand Prize at the Festival d’Hyères at the end of April.
Botter grew up in Curacao and Herrebrugh lived between the Netherlands and the Dominican Republic, leading Vogue to say that show was inspired by their shared Caribbean heritage.
It ‘included everything from neon floral suits and fishnet shirts to balloon headpieces in the shape of dolphins,’ Vogue said. ‘You could say it’s almost the inverse of Ricci’s refined, feminine signatures—which is precisely why this is an exciting, surprising move for the house.’
Their first collection for Nina Ricci will be Pre-Fall, shown later this year, followed by their debut Fall 2019 runway show in Paris next March.
