A new silhouette for Rucci with the coccoon jacket.



Lovely high contrast knits. His ability to interpret graphic designs on clothing is superb.



A sleek coat.



Ankle-length sable with a canework overlayer.



A simple dress with interesting insets.



A sheer fabric covered with tiny dots makes a lovely twinset. Flat-front, slim pants as per usual.



An intricately made wrapped belt.



Shearling, and casual, but not too casual.



You can see some of the faggoted seams on the coat and decorative/shaping seams on the skirt.



A unique contrast-lined overskirt. It gives this a renaissance feel.



The bolero-over-jacket look, but in a fresh way with a lovely surface design.



A lovely appliqued jacket.


A typical dress with intricate wrappings. Long gloves stand in for sleeves below the elbow. (Photo lightened to show details.)



A beautiful funnel neck coat in a brilliant color.



Sheer stretch insets have become a trademark.



Lacy insets on a coat.



Button placement takes this dress to a new level.



an all-over faggoted inset jacket.



You can really see the technique here.



This coat uses embroidery/embellishment as a substitute for insets.



A close up of this technique.



A lovely cocktail drss with such an impractical (and so, very desirable) feather trim.



Another overskirt effect. Turtle shell purse.



What an intriguing use of color and pattern.



Just a fantastically beautiful and unique dress.



Quite the juxtaposition of fabrics.
