Maria Nina Ricci was a French fashion designer of Italian origin.
Maria Nielli was born in Turin, Italy in 1883. She was nicknamed Nina. At the age of 13, she began an apprenticeship at a dressmaker's. She continued to pursue her love of fashion throughout her teenage years. She married an Italian jeweler and composer Luigi Ricci in 1904, thus becoming Maria Ricci.
The house of Nina Ricci was founded by Maria Ricci in Paris in 1932.
In 1948 the house of Nina Ricci launched 'L'Air du Temps'. The "bottle with the doves" was co-designed by Marc Lalique and Robert Ricci (Her Son). The Lalique family manufactured bottles exclusively for the House of Ricci until the 1950s.
