paris - here's to a smoother transition: peter copping who until recently was the studio director for louis vuitton womenswear has been named as the new artistic director of nina ricci. if you remember olivier theyskens stormed out of there in march, months ahead of his agreed upon date of october 2009. copping has deep roots with vuitton, he was one of the first people selected to join jacobs' team when he came on board and remained until recently. this news comes as no surprise to those who are plugged in to fashion gossip as there have been whispers since january of this year that copping would be taking over after theyskens left. it's going to be interesting to see if copping will be able to make the bosses at ricci happy both creatively and financially. zandile blay
