Strong Boxy Couture Runways

The Ralph Rucci Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear Show Rocked the Runway

Bold structures seem to be the backbone of this well tailored Ralph Rucci Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear collection.

As with many collections this season, the 1990s was an important inspiration. This collection clearly leaned on the 90s-professional look, with its chic structured shoulders and mostly neutral color palette. Black, white and gray were all there, including bold splashes of red.

Lots of extremely structured shoulders led to totally tubular sleeves in this Ralph Rucci Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear collection. Many of the garments looked like something a woman on Wall Street could easily walk to work in. There were also a number of pants to go with those jackets and suits, and even a few dresses for the company Christmas Party.

This collection's structure and bold, classic colors make it one to remember.
