- Summary
- "Working quietly and without much public attention for more than twenty years, American fashion designer Ralph Rucci suddenly became a headline topic in 2002, when he was invited to show his collection at the haute couture in Paris - the first American to receive such an invitation since Mainbocher in the 1930s. This illustrated book is the first to explore in depth Rucci's life and work, including the inspirations behind the extraordinarily beautiful and very expensive clothes he creates." "The book is enhanced with more than 100 photographs that include runway images and Chado Ralph Rucci garments from the collection of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology and from Rucci's own archives, as well as various inspirational objects and fashions."--BOOK JACKET.
