Square quarto. 256 pp; over 1000 color photographs by Baldomero Fernandez. Black cloth with red titles in slipcase. A fine, new copy. The book is a visual portrait of the home and studio of fashion designer Ralph Rucci, as revealed through the objects he has collected over a lifetime, and the techniques he employs when creating a garment. The photographs of Rucci's apartment reveal his personality, his inspirations, and his history in the American fashion industry. In the book's second part, the photographs go behind the scenes of Rucci's studio Chado, documenting his workroom during the making of the Spring 2011 and Fall 2011 collections, revealing the techniques that distinguish him as a fashion designer. This is the first book in a series that looks at different trades through the eyes of one practitioner; it was inspired by Sol LeWitt's Autobiography.[less]
