One of London's top talents Richard Nicoll has just been announced as the new creative director for Cedrruti Woman. He's bagged the 'British Fashion Council’s' and the 'Fashion Forward' awards over three consecutive seasons, along with his three prizes by ANDAM 2008 and 'Best Young Designer' at the British Elle Style Awards last spring.

“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for me. I greatly admire the relaxed elegance of Cerruti and the impeccable style of Nino Cerruti. To be the new Woman’s Creative Director of this amazing team is a real honour and privilege.” says Nicoll.

Florent Perrichon, President of Cerruti :"I am extremely happy to welcome Richard Nicoll as Creative Director of Cerruti Woman. I admire his work very much, particularly his skill with tailoring and his ability to incorporate this with ultra-feminine details. With Richard on board Cerruti Woman will be opening a whole new chapter. Richard Nicoll has understood the strengths of the label: adding a contemporary touch to our fantastic heritage born of French and Italian tradition and know-how."

Richard Nicoll will continue to present his own label in London, whilst his first collection for Cerruti will be presented at Paris Fashion Week in March 2010, the first Cerruti womenswear show in three years.
