The designer Tamara Ralph has settled a legal dispute with Candy Capital, a former believer of her closed company Ralph & Russo, which she had conducted with Michael Russo.

Candy, an investment company owned by the real estate agent Nick Candy, had already filed a lawsuit against the British luxury brand in connection with a disadvantage of a loan of 15 million British pounds in 2021. The company had borrowed the money and had become a minority investor, but legal problems came into play with regard to the conditions of the loan. The two parties have now agreed on a confidential agreement.

The message comes shortly after Ralph & Russo has registered bankruptcy for the second time within four years. The brand first came to insolvency administration in 2021 after the complaint from Candy, but was quickly saved by the US company Retail Ecommerce Ventures. By April 2025, however, every effort to attribute the brand to its earlier shine did not seem to be fruitful, and RSM was then appointed insolvency administrator.

After Ralph & Russo left after the first bankruptcy, Ralph launched her own label of the same name, which has since been well received by celebrities and personalities of public life. In November 2024, the designer opened a couture salon inside in Paris, in which she perceives appointments with customers: inside.
