Woman's Ensemble: "New Mitza" Jacket, "Frame Cut" Turtleneck, and "Double-Faced Eclipse" Skirt

Spring/Summer 2001

The jacket of this ensemble, which has pockets incorporated into the curved front seams, is made up of shaped pieces and voids; these are also the basis of the innovative construction technique that Rucci calls "suspension," in which small pieces of fabric are connected by "worms" made of a series of modified French knots.
