For Resort 2014, Nina Ricci creative director Peter Copping puts a modern, slightly deconstructed stamp on the house fabled feminine French codes. Inspired by Provence's warm-weather colors and rustic textiles, the line includes floral eyelet, tropical tweeds, airy chiffon and signature touches of lace. Here, Copping uses trompe l'oeil construction to join a sleeveless charmeuse shell to a classic pencil skirt in a single, easy-to-wear, sleeveless dress.
