Harris Reed Is The New Creative Director of Nina Ricci
Nina Ricci has tapped Harris Reed, the 26-year-old designer known for his avant-garde and gender-fluid designs, as their next creative director.

The announcement comes after former artistic directors Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy Botter left the brand in January after joining in 2018. Reed is set to work closely with the new general director for both fashion and fragrances, Edwin Bodson, who joined Nina Ricci earlier this year and replaced Charlotte Tasset, the current CEO at Maje. Reed, on his appointment, said, “I am honoured to be joining the house of Nina Ricci, with its treasure chest full of glamour, history, and power ready to be explored. I am truly excited to challenge the landscape of what femininity means across fashion and beauty in such an iconic house.” [Vogue]
