STYLES THAT SPELL ESCAPE & ADVENTURE
We founded NicoBlu to take us on a journey interwoven with a rich blend of cultures we discovered on past trips to Capri, Jaipur, and Cote D'Azur. At once glamorous, mysterious and intoxicating.
The NicoBlu woman is cosmopolitan, powerful, well read and well-lived. NicoBlu centers around pieces that fit her needs. Effortless glamour. Day into night. Sophisticated and timeless styles.
Based in Connecticut, we design each piece to be singular–beautiful on its own, yet part of a thoughtfully curated collection. No detail is overlooked, from perfecting the fit and balancing color to selecting the precise sheen of a stone on an embellishment. Designed to move effortlessly from day into evening, and from life’s most memorable celebrations to moments of relaxed elegance, each piece reflects a wardrobe that is polished without feeling overly formal, expressive without becoming excessive. The result is a collection inspired by our travels and created for women whose lives are as varied and vibrant as the places that inspire us.
Our collections are created to celebrate women of every shape, size and height, with styles thoughtfully offered in petite sizes from P0–P14 and women’s sizes through W20 in selected designs—because exceptional design should feel as beautiful to wear as it is to behold.
Our product offerings are made in India, Turkey and Italy–countries we intentionally selected, drawn to their cultural diversity, cultivation of beauty and mastery of centuries’ old hand-crafted techniques.
In our small way, we hope to inspire you to escape, to dream, and forge the life you love.
ABOUT THE
–FOUNDERS–
KATHERINE LANTUCH
“If you dream it, you will it.” This has always been the motto of Katherine Lantuch and the driving force behind NicoBlu. Even well before she graduated from Yale, having grown up in a highly creative family surrounded by beauty and art, she knew that she would forge a path in the fashion world. For decades, she held executive roles at major fashion corporations, such as Bergdorf Goodman and Ralph Lauren. But it was the pull of her many scrapbooks and design sketches compiled on trips to far flung destinations all over the world that circled her back to a very early dream: to create keepsake pieces that empower women to dream, to dare, and to escape.
PETER RIZZO
To realize this dream, Katherine Lantuch teamed up with Peter Rizzo to launch NicoBlu. Peter’s quest for developing products of exacting quality drove him to seek out and cultivate relationships with some of the best manufacturers in the world. From an early age, Peter has been inspired by his father’s reinvention of the marquee retail brands, such as Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman. Peter earned his MBA from NYU Stern and held strategic and operational roles at various fashion brands, most recently at Tommy Hilfiger. NicoBlu is the culmination of many years of experience and the relentless drive to develop the highest standard product that withstand the test of time.
