The Art of Weightlessness
Ralph Rucci
Yale University Press

Heralded for his sumptuous, elegant clothes, Ralph Rucci is the only American who has been invited to show his collections in Paris and is quickly becoming a legend in contemporary fashion. With extraordinary photographic documentation (100+ images) as well as drawings and sketches, the book illustrates both Rucci's own creative genius and examines the important roles played by his teachers like Halston and Balenciaga. Including both his clothing and accessories, the entire range of Rucci's varied and complex aesthetic is on full display.
