Review | Collection
Ralph & Russo Spring 2018 RTW collection was full of impressive clothing. The runway was set up with streetlights on either side for a street-side effect. Very glam, of course. The drift from couture to ready-to-wear collection was indeed a great idea. The color palette included spring colors like white, sky blue, yellow and pink. Metallics like silver, gold, electric blue and copper were also prominent in the collection, while classic black made an impression too.
As per the fashion description, “This debut Prêt-à-Porter palette caters to the modern woman, across every aspect of her life.”
The show started with one sleeved cutout dress, jumpsuit, 3D geometric patterned matching set. It gradually moved on to dresses with sheer, ruffle and metallic details. Also, the white layered feather dress made quite a statement!
My favorite parts of the collection were the different types of metallic outfits. There were matching sets, pants, dresses, skirts and coats that looked perfectly like party outfits. My favorite was the metallic coat – shimmery and eye catching!
Towards the end of the show, the quintessential Ralph & Russo party gowns adorned the runway – ruffled, belted, sheer, pleated and embellished ones.
Accessories included box bags, micro bags, metallic shoes, ear cuffs, broad belts and caps. The makeup was edgy with bold metallic eyeliner. The rest of the look was kept simple with pink lips and medium contouring paired with center parted straight hair.
Overall, a chic collection with a handful of casual clothing. Otherwise the entire collection gave more of a couture feel than everyday wear!
