Woman's "World" Coat

Fall/Winter 2005 ready-to-wear collection

Designed by Ralph Rucci (American, born Philadelphia, 1957) Label Chado, Ralph Rucci (founded 1994)

The universality of the classic khaki trench coat is evident in Rucci's tongue-in-cheek title, the World Coat. Instead of the traditional waterproof cotton canvas fabric, he has chosen an elegant textured matelassé with a "topographic"-like surface.
