I don't use the term 'couturier' lightly. Ever. But Rucci has such an attention to detail, naturally paramount in all couturiers, and uses such high quality fabrics, that he is instantly raised to the workmanship level of Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera, by those who examine his work.
Of course, he is currently championed by that flamboyant maverick, Andre Leon Talley, and this alone should give you an idea of just how well regarded he is by industry greats. But it is his clothes that, thankfully, speak for themselves. I myself discovered him by watching Fashion TV one summer.
Watching the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalk show from my holiday hotel room, a beautiful white jacket with circular cutaway detail caught my eye (left). It was this incredible piece that prompted me to have a closer look at this understated but prolific designer. I have been a fan of his ever since. You should be too.
