Riccardo Tisci has fast become a household names thanks to his work with Givenchy and friendship with Kanye West. Now, singer and fashion maven Ciara is also opening up about her relationship with the designer, calling him one of her best and closest friends in the world.

In a new interview with Fashion Week Daily, Ciara says that Tisci - who has also become very chummy with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian - that she has her most favorite fashion memories with him.

Ciara explained, "I met Riccardo in Brazil six years ago-he invited me to perform for him at Fashion Rocks Rio. We bonded so, so strongly. We're really like family. I call him Papa Ricky, Uncle Ricky...we're brothers, we're sisters, we're everything in one!"

She added, "One of my favorite moments was the VMAs [in 2013]. I wore a see-through Givenchy Couture dress. When I saw it on the runway, I freaked out! Riccardo said, 'Don't worry, I'll make it work for you.' He always delivers."

And while "Uncle Ricky" hasn't designed anything for Ciara's son Future Jr. yet, he did give him a special gift late last year.

"When Riccardo designed Nikes last year, I got the first pair of baby shoes produced for the line," Ciara said.

Ciara is currently promoting her upcoming album, "Jackie." Her first single "I Bet" is available on iTunes now.
