It’s frustrating…

Agreed! It kills me we only get to see his work in illustration because Ralph’s couture in real life is damn perfection!

So sad to see such a great talent ignored by the whole industry. I´d wish Gaultier invite him to make a collection...

I assume he’s not profitable in todays times.

Nowadays the industry is all about marketing and nothing (or close to nothing) about substance or talent. It doesn't deserve Mr. Rucci.

It might be difficult for anyone to envision a business strategy for a brand like Ralph Rucci. It’s not even an Alaia type of operation…Maybe something like Herve H.Leroux (Hervé Leger).

On one hand, Couture is demanded today but it’s expensive to present a collection. And Ralph’s vision, while very modern has that old fashioned charm that resonate only to a very sophisticated, mature audience.

What could actually boost his work is maybe if someone like Rihanna, Beyonce or a Hollywood actress wear his clothes on the Redcarpet. But it requires a certain budget for it and we know that celebrities will either choose a brand they have contracts with or a young brand which will adapt it aesthetic to suit the celebrity.

It’s maybe sad that he doesn’t have much support from the press. A look even from his older work on British Vogue could totally bring back a major interest to his work…
