AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FASHION DESIGNER
New York: Bauer and Dean Publishers, 2011. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed and dated by Ralph Rucci on the prefatory blank leaf. "Through a wealth of stunning photogrids, the book delves deeply into the private and public worlds of fashion designer, Ralph Rucci. His eclectic and beautiful home is revealed through a compelling series of closely cropped photographs - everything from his boxing gloves to the contents of his refrigerator, the Elsa Peretti pieces displayed throughout the rooms and his extensive book collection on muses from Cy Twombly to Cristóbal Balenciaga." Rucci (b.1957) is known in particular for Chado Ralph Rucci, a luxury clothing and accessories line. Square quarto: [256] pp. with color photographs throughout. Original black cloth binding, with blind and orange-stamped titling. Light smudging to the fore-edge; otherwise very good. Housed in the publisher's slipcase, which is a bit stained at the top corner of the closed end (the book is unaffected). Very good. Item #80532
