Franco Moschino was a handy man with no formal education who started his career in fashion for illustrated for Gianni Versace in 1971, and eventually launching his own label in 1983.

Jeans, casual and evening wear, shoes, lingerie and perfumes… this self-made, inventive man did it all with creative brilliance. Moschino perfected the rules of “cutting and stitching” with humor and twists, mirrored in his perfume namesakes: Cheap & Chic Hippy Fizz, Moschino Funny!, Oh! De Moschino and more.

This edgy “mad-hatter” gave ripe tomatoes to his runway audiences to toss when they judged his creations distasteful. His motto: De gustibus non est disputandum—Who's to say what is good taste?

With her son, Robert, Nina Ricci opened her elegant Parisian couture house in 1932, specializing in luxury fashion and fragrance.

Madame Ricci exuded a flair for fashion, capturing the personality of her clients in her designs for them. Robert encouraged his mother’s exploration into perfumery with the Ricci house’s first perfume, Nina, followed by Premier Jour and the Les Belles line.

In 1948, L'air Du Temps became one of its most successful brands, featuring the famed two-dove bottle designed with Marc Lalique. Other legendary scents like Coeur Joie, Capricci and Farouche established Nina Ricci as “a household name of international fragrances.”
