Taking inspiration from the identity and natural beauty captured by the grand masters Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, and Norman Parkinson, the Ralph and Russo Fall 2017 couture show was full of personality and soul.

 

In an iridescent palette of ice mints, pearlescent lavenders, aqua blue, and rose gold, the collection was fresh and magical. Feathers cascaded, silk draped, and there were ribbons of metallic chainmail creating movement on floor sweeping trains and wide leg trouser suits.

 

The show was closed with a show-stopping bridal masterpiece, modeled by Sonam Kapoor. Decked in diamonds, Indian actress Kapoor’s ensemble comprised of champagne Chantilly lace with a double duchess overskirt, phenomenal train, and incredibly intricate hand embroidery.
