The name Chado Ralph Rucci is synonymous with unmatched elegance and remarkable charm. Rucci designs clothing as a painter creates a masterpiece, with painstaking attention to detail and craftsmanship. Masterpiece would be best to describe Rucci’s covetable offering for Spring 2013.

The scene was set: Carmen Dell’Orefice sat gracefully (directly across from me, no less) in her front row seat wearing a gorgeous red coat by the designer and a pair of chic white kid gloves. The crowd was packed with dedicated Rucci fans, dressed to the nines in his creations. The runway and backdrop were a glistening metallic, which created a futuristic light at the end of the tunnel feel (although the photographers were not too keen on the reflection). And then one by one, Rucci sent down his wearable works of art. To read more of my review, continue on Huffington Post Black Voices.
