Chado Ralph Rucci F/W 08.09

[baudelaire]

So I just came home from the Rucci Show and I am searching for words to convey my disappointment. I hope somebody will post the pictures soon, so you will see for your self.

1. If you want to do RTW, do RTW and not a client based collection with no theme whatsoever.

2. The colours were totally random. Taupe, Grey, Black, Beige and suddenly a completely unappropriate yellow. But not this seasons yellow.

3. Some of the clothes were actually badly made (AND THIS AT A RUCCI SHOW, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT).

4. Who wants to see a 40 year old model?

5. If you show garments like these, show them in a pace, where you can actually appreciate the details, and do not have them move in an ecstatic pace to arabian dance music.

6. Get a PR that makes people actually show up. I mean they let people from the streets in to fill it and still only the FR was full..

7. If you have exquisite knotted details on the back of the dresses dont let the hair cover them...

8. Know, how to combine fabrics.

9. End a show with a finale....

What a disappointment. The Location (Couvent des Cordeliers) was nice though...

Now please tell us how you really feel?

Surprised to hear the clothes were badly made, most of all.

 

[baudelaire]

Who wants to see a 40 year old model?

Ermm... why not?

 

[baudelaire]

Ermm... why not?

[Sweet rus]

because its ugly!

 

[JordanB]

Not liking this so far.

 

[Navygreen]

because its ugly!

No it's not. We'll all get there eventually anyway.


Are there any more pics from this collection? I'm curious.

 

[chessmess]

since when is being 40 considered ugly...

 

[baudelaire]

Come on, I am just saying, there is no need for that ON the runway...

Ermm... why not?

People seem to still get excited when they see old models on the runway. Especially Naomi Campbell.

I'm really shocked to hear that some of the pieces weren't well made, as he is known for his attention to detail. I do have to admit, however, that even when he showed here in NY and I would go, it wasn't a high octane show, but I don't think he is looking to do that. He has a client base, that he does not need to stray far from, so I wouldn't expect him to step outside of that realm...He isn't Marc Jacobs. So, I take his line for what it is. Also, in all fairness to him, his show was the last one on the calendar, and plenty of designers have trouble filling seats once the week winds down...With that said, I am looking forward to the collection pics. His stuff isn't always my cup of tea, but it is always beautiful to see IMO....

...On a side note, I don't see anything ugly about a 40 year old model on the runway...

Because they're, you know, prehistoric and all. I mean, they lived through the eighties. It's much better that we pluck six foot tall eleven year olds out of the former USSR, as they are really the only people alive who look good in clothes targeted toward a successful, mature audience. B)


Back on topic, I like what I see.
