Chado Ralph Rucci Net-Encased Ostrich Feather Jacket

A prime example of Rucci's suspension technique, ostrich feathers are encased within triple panels of black and tan tulle, fragmented into a geometric patchwork effect and conjoined with narrow bands of black tulle. Hidden within the lines of the patchwork are the shape of the garment. The result is weightless and structured, heavily worked while appearing organic.

Black and nude silk net swing jacket with black ostrich feathers encased between the layers in a grid pattern, a funnel neckline, and built-in bell sleeves.
