As we indulge in the waning days of New York Fashion Week, I think it's safe to take a little time out from the "new" and "hot" to wax poetic about the truly classic. What would American fashion be without Ralph Lauren?
Ralph Lauren isn't showy. Just like the man, the Ralph Lauren label is dapper, classic, timeless, handsome. We don't wait each season to see if the Ralph Lauren show will sink or swim. Nope. We just wait to see how much we're going to love it. I guess that's what happens with 40 years of practice.
Fashion week marked the 40th year of the Ralph Lauren label and the celebration kicked off with a black tie runway show at the posh Central Park Conservatory. Even with all of the pomp and circumstance, Ralph didn't disappoint. The collection is flawless. Inspired by a day at the races, the collection featured everything from jodhpurs to ladies day dresses to classic menswear inspired looks complete with top hats. With the possible exception of the crystal-studded jodhpurs, there isn't a thing on the runway I wouldn't wear. Love it. Check out the 40th Anniversary Ralph Lauren show highlights:
