RALPH LAUREN
You know the look: It's pretty, it's elegant, it's all-American. The label has got to be Ralph Lauren.
The fall collection captured in 50 outfits a hit parade of Lauren's signature styles. The fashion A-listers who make their way to a remote downtown studio every season saw menswear-inspired suit pieces; delicate, simple gowns; beautiful knits; and nods to the country-club life so familiar to wearers of Lauren's collections.
Like many other designers this season Lauren stayed close to the core message of the brand instead of experimenting with something that may or may not resonate with customers as the economy shows signs of shaky recovery.
But while the feel of this runway was familiar, there was nothing boring about an olive-colored Chesterfield coat over an ultra-feminine, floral-print georgette gown, or the chic black turtleneck worn under a delicate flutter-sleeve dress – also in a floral. A black, beaded crochet-style capelet paired with a blousoned brown velvet blouse had a vintage feel.
A handful of looks, though, took the whole Fleetwood Mac theme – and all those handkerchief hems – just a little too far, especially with a Nicks soundtrack in the background.
