Ralph Rucci: The Art of Weightless-ness
Fashion designer Ralph Rucci, himself a graduate of FIT, has spent twenty-five years designing exquisite clothing and textiles, which he claims have been inspired by all forms of art. As an avid painter and collector, the use of color found in visual art has been transferred to his fashion designs.
This exhibit juxtaposes his fashion designs with paintings (some done by him) to show the strong influence of color in art. The Rucci retrospective will be on view until April 14 at The Museum at FIT.
