Ralph Rucci’s coat features an ottoman fabric whose pagoda motif resembles trapunto quilting. However, the motif was woven seamlessly into the fabric’s ground. The rigor of Rucci’s construction technique relies on his exclusive and thoughtfully chosen textiles, revealing why he was only the second American ever to have been invited into the Chambre Syndicale.
