Aurora Ruffolo & Christian Ruperto
90s Silk Animal Print Jacket And Tank$219.00
I'm in love with this fantastic two-piece "Tiger King" ensemble from the Aurora Ruffolo & Christian Ruperto label. The set comprises a long-sleeved jacket and a sleeveless, tank. The jacket has softly padded shoulders and closes with faceted black glass buttons. The cropped tank zips up the front with an unusual rhinestone zipper. The most exciting thing about both pieces is the animal faces ranging from flamingos, to zebras, to a big lion on the back of the tank. No labels are present, but the channel quilted fabric appears to be silk. Sizing charts indicate the set is a size Smal, or 4-6. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size.
Seller's Note: I wasn't able to find biographical information about this duo, except it appears that Christian Ruperto established a separate label at some point and is now the designer for Alta Moda. Couldn't find any garments attributed only to Aurora Ruffolo. The examples of their designs that I've found recently - and those branded only as Christian Ruperto - are exquisite!
