Chado Ralph Rucci
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, June 25, 2010
By
Ralph Rucci is fond of calling his Resort collection Chado Light. Don't think for an instant, though, that he's skimped on the über-luxe details that he's made his calling card. André Leon Talley may have introduced this designer to the public at large by wearing his made-to-measure capes on America's Next Top Model, but Rucci isn't going mass. Case in point: a ravishing white evening caftan painstakingly embroidered in clear sequins. If there's any difference at all between this season and his runway shows, it's the emphasis on city-chic day and cocktail wear over high-drama evening looks. There was a refreshing lightness to a black silk pantsuit with sculpted sleeves; ditto a fitted lavender slipdress with a waist-defining band of black around the torso. As for after-eight, the chartreuse top and long bronze column skirt combo was a soft, unstructured beauty.
