De Rigo and Nina Ricci sign worldwide licence agreement for optical frames and sunwear

De Rigo Vision and Nina Ricci have entered into a licence agreement for the design, production and worldwide distribution of Nina Ricci-branded optical and sun collections.

The agreement comes into force in September this year and will see the launch of a Nina Ricci collection. This will be offered to consumers through optical outlets, department stores and Nina Ricci boutiques.

 Michele Aracri, CEO of De Rigo Vision S.p.A., said he was delighted to welcome Nina Ricci to De Rigo’s portfolio. ‘I believe in the strategic value of this partnership which has tremendous potential for growth both in the French market and in the international market, thanks to the unique and extraordinary heritage of the brand that Guillaume Henry [artistic director] reinterprets with a contemporary and personal touch.’
