Paris, France – The new Ralph & Russo haute couture collection for Fall Winter 2018/19 is a true celebration of the Countess Jacqueline de Ribes, a worldly woman and icon of fine living. Its intent is to put on display both the splendor and the frivolity for which the craft was known during the golden age of haute couture (1947-1957) and during 1990’s.

Through their palette, Ralph & Russo have brought forth bold colors such a bejewelled red, royal purple, scarlet red, mustard yellow, lilac, black, white, teal, fuchsia, etc. They have splashed them on designs created in structure and in fluidity. Deeply plunging necklines, eyebrow-raising splits at the legs and voluminously flowing looks all mix well with the closely cut to the body pieces. Though the collection is dominated by the force of the cocktail dresses and gowns, several day wear looks manage to slip effortlessly into the collection.

Overall Ralph & Russo have offered to us a body of work that has most honorably earned its merit badges of excellence. However, it is not without some criticism. Ostrich feathers are almost always the perfect finishing touch to quite a number of the pieces. Yet here in some pieces such as the short pants, they dramatically constitute a true source of overkill. And there are three looks in multiple colors in the collection that are completely out of step with the rest.
