Ralph ∓ Russo : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2016-2017

 

Ralph & Russo Spring/Summer 2018 Prêt-à-Porter collection fuses traditionalism and contemporary artistry, re-interpreting signature styles from the little black dress to the classic tuxedo jacket.

Techniques found at the forefront of fabric innovation combine Neoclassical undertones with revolutionary compositions, as hints of golden brocade transpose onto jet-black laminated tweed. 

Crest-emblazoned buttons adorn utilitarian jackets, whilst waist-cinching structures accentuate feminine silhouettes; juxtaposed with oversized outerwear as the denim jacket is reimagined in double sided silk scuba. 

Interspersed with crisp whites, the collection highlights flashes of red, electric metallic blues, and blush florals offset with icy silver embellishments. This debut Prêt-à-Porter palette caters to the modern woman, across every aspect of her life.
