“The maestro of fashion, Ralph Lauren, graced New York Fashion Week with a rustic romance that ingeniously wove the brand’s iconic codes into a tapestry of eclectic elegance. Transporting guests to the RRL Ranch spirit, Ralph Lauren transformed the Brooklyn Navy Yard into a lavish artist’s loft, nestled within a barn adorned with exquisite chandeliers.
For his triumphant return to New York Fashion Week, Ralph Lauren played host to a select gathering of over 55 VIP attendees, including luminaries such as Jennifer Lopez, Gabrielle Union, Ariana DeBose, Laura Dern, and Diane Keaton. The evening comprised a captivating runway showcase followed by a sumptuous dinner.
In a preview, Ralph Lauren shared, ‘I have a barn on my ranch that’s been around for 100 years; it’s where we celebrated David’s wedding.’
On the runway, the designer masterfully reimagined the brand’s preppy aesthetics, infusing them with artistic and bohemian influences. ‘There’s a lot of individuality,’ Ralph Lauren emphasized, ‘This is what’s happening; girls mix it up.’
Departing from his recent design direction, Ralph Lauren embraced a more ornate style, introducing porcelain-inspired florals and faded blues. Notably, a denim jacket embroidered with rhinestones, patches, and feathers stole the show, elevating denim to a new level of glamour. This captivating jacket effortlessly adorned an elegantly draped gown adorned with a medley of blue florals, evoking the delicate allure of porcelain.
The collection featured embellished denim, white embroidered prairie dresses, and a striking white suit that set the stage for a rustic escape. Iconic Polo shirts took on a golden hue, paired beautifully with layered black tulle ball skirts, creating a harmonious blend of relaxed elegance. The timeless gold-buttoned officer jacket served as a recurring theme, adding a touch of opulence.
Accessories played a pivotal role, with the debut of the RL 888 bag marking the opening of the show. The viral Polo pony baseball caps, favored by stars like Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, and Jennifer Lawrence, made a prominent appearance. The jewelry collection was more extensive than ever, featuring snake necklaces and cascades of beads.
The colorful house madras transformed into vibrant, collaged prints on dresses, exuding richness and depth. A standout piece, a purple fringe halter dress, practically had J.Lo’s name written all over it.
Furthermore, a silk foulard crisscross bandeau paired with harem pants paid homage to Ralph Lauren’s roots in silk ties, reminding us of where this iconic designer began his journey.” 🌟👗💎
