Ralph Rucci Chado S / S '04 - New York

yes, i need to see Chado as well, if i find anything, i'll post

 

I'll post some pictures in 30 minutes.

 

ohh thanks astrid

 

hmm, i like but i was expecting something a bit....more. i don't know. I really really like the shapes of some of these pieces but it's seems a bit fallish.

 

first look on the last set is amazing

its ok, im nto really a big fan of his but I think its cool :

 

It's a little bit too 'conservative' but still, a very beautiful collection -for 'older' clients- i'm sure he can experiment a bit more and add some 'fun' in his work.
I don't think this collection is in tune with the general 'uplifted' mood of the ss04 season..

Loved :
*his hand accessories that look like 'half gloves'
*the black on black shine/mat contrasts
*his little black dresses.

The floor length dresses were a bit of a dissapointment, a bit too DonnaKaran-ish i think

 

yes, i absolutely agree igni, i was not expecting 'girly or trendy' not from Rucci, he's better than just that, its just that his "own" drum might need a bit tuning.
"conservative" does not neccessarily need to be dull, thats my point.

my very own design style used to be quite near to Rucci's 'pureness'
at the end i was so pure that i started boring myself
Pure can be also playful and smart without losing its qualities of striking
design and wearability. Pure needs to avoid austerity in order to
become modern and avoid traping itself in 'boring'
this is Rucci's only tiny weakness -i'm sure he will take care of it, very soon)
apart from this little detail, he's one of my favourite contemporary designers, from day one.

btw, i'm regarding his work at the same creative levels as Sibylla and Elbaz, a rising modern master.

 

Its okay..I was expecting a bit more for some unknown reason.

 

I like it! Beautifully cut.

 

i like it

 

It just looked like classic Rucci to me. Nothing more, nothing less.

My favorite look
