Ralph Rucci Spring 2007 Couture

Light as a feather.

The thinnest of fringed single layers for the top and all the other pieces as well.

Appliqué, not a print.

Beautifully embellished, and yet so airy.

Beautiful embroidery.

A lovely and wearable take on the Empire line.

Similar to last season's cutaway ballgown skirts, but so much lighter.

A gloriously loopy top with a graphic skirt.

Braids stitched into a bolero, like a modern Battenburg tape, over a braided and fringed gown.

Chado Ralph Rucci Fall 2007 RTW

Great detailing on the skirt.

Classic Rucci coat shape with similar detailing.

A beautifully pin-tucked and laced knit dress.

Another beautifully detailed suit.

Another oh, so intriguing suit.

Another stunning jacket from skins.

Very interesting use of contrast patterns.

Darling jacket shape in this suit.

Rucci's take on the season's sheath dress.

Very fresh looking knotted fringe.

Two-layer apron dress.

Signature Rucci illusion applique with a leather braid.

A unique evening silhouette with an unusual bobbled trim.
Bill Blass Fall 2007 RTW

Primary colors at Bill Blass.

Classic coat style in a classic fabric.

A knit dress with an interesting cut and fresh color combination.

A funnel-necked jacket and pleated trousers.

Playing with the pinstripes.

Very nice.

I love the blue leopard print, and the suit shape is pretty cute too.

Great use of a really large-scale pattern.

The bands add just the right touch for a so-comfy suit.

Very nice leather trim.
