Flamboyant Fur Fashions

The Chado Ralph Rucci Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection is Textural

— February 12, 2013 — Fashion
The Chado Ralph Rucci Fall 2013 ready-to-wear runway show was littered with furry fashions. The outlandish collection was full of textural and vivid fashion statements.

Ralph Rucci's career has spanned over three decades and explores his affinity for workmanship and the craft. His designs are decadent and refined. His fall 2013 show was glorious and glistened as each look strutted down the runway. Staples from the series include dyed fur coats with tassels, cropped fluffy jackets and embellished fur collar garments. Aside from the explosion of fur, Rucci kept the rest of pieces in the collection basic and in neutral color palettes. This allowed the more flamboyant pieces to really take center stage.

The Chado Ralph Rucci Fall 2013 ready-to-wear runway show was a joyous and exuberant occasion.
