NINA RICCI - Lot 47

NINA RICCI Suits, coats, dresses, 1930s–40s. 5 photos by Studio Dorvyne, silver gelatin prints on vintage card stock, stamped by the photographer and annotated on the back: details of the designs, names of some hat designers (Agnès, Rose Valois…), and reproduction restrictions in certain countries (sometimes Germany or Switzerland). 22.5 x 16.5 cm each. Note: These five photographs from Studio Dorvyne document the early decades of the Nina Ricci fashion house, founded in Paris in 1932. Suits, coats, and dresses exemplify the feminine elegance that characterizes the fashion house, while the annotations on the back—details of the designs, names of milliners such as Agnès or Rose Valois, and reproduction restrictions by country—offer valuable insight into the international spread of Parisian fashion.
