Ralph Rucci has a strong client base who adores his strict cuts and minimal approach to fashion. He is very American and very sophisticated. A movie star would need a refined elegance to wear Mr. Rucci's clothes with ease. But there are many clients in the world the average person has never heard of-both the late Bill Blass and the much missed Oscar de la Renta, (who retired from Balmain Couture a year ago) commented that the heart and soul of their businesses were the unsung heroines all across America who planned the charity events and fundraisers, so important to American life. With Mr. Rucci, we can add that glamorous art gallery directors and Hollywood wives have figured out that his clothes fit their lives, and perhaps more importantly, their suitcases. If modern design genius involves garments that pack perfectly, Mr. Rucci is summa.
