They finally posted it on Style.com, but they left out that orange feathered gown.

I find all of Ralph Rucci stuff is for a very specific clientele and thus I find it a bit stuffy. I dislike immensely the second gown. That fabric annoys the hell out of me. Other than that fairly straightforward and typical looking to me.

i found out that these are tiny strips of patent leather sewn on to tulle... the workmanship is great...

and the theme was knots...so a lot of the looks have knotted strings hanging off them giving them great movement when you walk... this show loses a lot in the pictures...the video really helped me appreciate it more...

there was also a painting used as a back drop which was done by ralph rucci that he emulated in a beautiful blk and wht coat...i'll post the picture when we're back up to speed...
till then...look #31 on style.com...
