CHADO is the name of the collection but it is eclipsed by its designer…Ralph Rucci. His demographic is that of almost cult like loyalty and those of the most discerning of the art of fashion. What may come to mind is “less is more” or “the devil is in the details” but whatever you think, you can be positive that these are deceptively simple clothes. They are pure of line and intricate in construction and they reflect the evolution of this collection rather than the revolution of fashion. Read what Mr. Rucci has to say and have a look at some of the flawless pieces from past collections.
