This morning it was announced that Harris Reed has stepped down from the helm of Nina Ricci. Appointed in September 2022, his departure from the Parisian brand marks the end a three and a half year era.
In a statement made on his Instagram, the British-American designer said, “After three and a half extraordinary years at the helm of Nina Ricci, it is now time to say farewell and turn my full attention to my own namesake label. I am leaving Nina Ricci with a heart full of gratitude and a profound appreciation for all that my time there has given me. My deepest thanks go to Puig and to the entire Nina Ricci team. Truly, to step into a heritage house that not only welcomed, but actively championed my imagination, has been an honour beyond words.
“To my Paris team, thank you for meeting every idea with openness, generosity, and courage. You embraced possibility without hesitation, and in doing so taught me more than I could ever adequately express. Every moment we’ve shared will stay with me always. I love you.
“When I first arrived at Nina Ricci, I was 26 years old, not long graduated, single, and still finding my footing while learning how to stand confidently with an unconventional voice. Today, I leave having learned and grown so much, and I am so excited to enter this next chapter of my life with my husband (and dog) beside me, in a home that I love, ready to take my own company into its next chapter.
“Thank you to every single person that has helped me and been a part of this journey.”
Reed is part of burgeoning troupe of London talent who are creating beyond their years. Finding success while studying at Central Saint Martins after dressing Harry Styles, the designer’s gender fluid approach to flamboyant fashion and expressive, structural silhouettes has earned him mass industry acclaim. Just last month, Reed staged his eponymous label’s AW26 catwalk show at Claridge’s in London where he unveiled his debut bridal wear for both men and women.
Reed’s successor is yet to be announced.
