| FALL WINTER 2010 PRE COLLECTION | SPRING SUMMER 2010 FASHION SHOW Peter Copping chose to show in Nina Ricci‘s salon. Intimate in atmosphere, it underlines his aim for the house which is to emanate Nina Ricci‘s heritage yet avoid becoming nostalgic. Gently reworking signature codes such as bows, lace, tulle and lingerie-like details, Copping never loses sight of his Nina Ricci woman. Coquettish, she defines the eternal Parisian who is playful in spirit and always elegant. Copping achieves a vital and contemporary balance via well-crafted fit and considered inventiveness with fabric. | Volume is controlled, necklines exquisite and waistlines defined. Layers of transparent and denser fabrics shimmer with light-handed effect and form. Silk crepe, tulle and floral print become upbeat and ennobled in texture. The simplest fabrics are washed and crushed. Flesh tones, apricot, lavender and see-through pastels are offset by a sophisticated mix of midnight blue and black. Noted for his refreshing take on Nina Ricci‘s signature codes, Copping delivers measured clothes enhanced with an unexpected twist. |
