Ralph Rucci is the only American designer, since the legendary Mainbocher in the 1930s, to show his couture in Paris. Rucci's impeccable craftsmanship, restrained luxury, invocations of the styles and art of the past and rich sophistication have made him one of the most respected designers of his generation. Inspired by artists like Francis Bacon, Joseph Beuys and Cy Twombly, Rucci has an innovative approach to cut and construction. He works closely with mills and weavers to create new fabrics but also revives important cloths from the past. He is the winner of the 2008 National Design Award for fashion, and his work has been seen at The Cooper-hewitt National Design Museum, The Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology, The Costume Institute of Kent State University and The Phoenix Art Museum. To learn more about Rucci's design philosophy and connection with art, We've invited another influential figure from the world of design, artist and photographer Ik Ud to interview him. Born in Nigeria, Ud is the founder and editor-in-chief of the cutting-edge magazine aRUDE. His photography explores issues of fashion, celebrity and art.
