The Ralph & Russo Autumn-Winter 2019/2020 Couture Collection continues the celebration of the modern female and her multifaceted form amid the joie de vivre of an era almost a century past.

Depicting a 1930s soirée en plein air; a lively scene wrought with flora, fauna and the majestic opulence of the Art Deco era, this collection is embellished in true Art Deco form with opalescent fan-shaped embroideries and designs that are simultaneously geometric and spherical – embracing the pastiche of influences behind the Art Deco movement.
