Ralph
Rucci is the only American designer, since the legendary
Mainbocher in the 1930s, to show his couture in Paris.
Rucci's impeccable craftsmanship, restrained luxury,
invocations of the styles and art of the past and rich
sophistication have made him one of the most respected
designers of his generation. Inspired by artists like
Francis Bacon, Joseph Beuys and Cy Twombly, Rucci has an
innovative approach to cut and construction. He works
closely with mills and weavers to create new fabrics but
also revives important cloths from the past. He is the
winner of the 2008 National Design Award for fashion,
and his work has been seen at The Cooper-hewitt National
Design Museum, The Museum of the Fashion Institute of
Technology, The Costume Institute of Kent State
University and The Phoenix Art Museum. To learn more
about Rucci's design philosophy and connection with art,
We've invited another influential figure from the world
of design, artist and photographer Ik Ud to interview
him. Born in Nigeria, Ud is the founder and
editor-in-chief of the cutting-edge magazine aRUDE. His
photography explores issues of fashion, celebrity and
art.
