RALPH LAUREN
Carried away by a Moroccan vibe, Ralph Lauren worked, and reworked, the look of an adventurer. Our traveler starts off dressed for actual trekking in utilitarian broadcloth shorts, shirts and linen jackets. Later in the collection, there were more formal pieces – a bias-cut satin dress, satin pants and an incredibly interesting strapless dress made of the non-formal fabric of gauze.
These pieces evoked “The English Patient,” as they were styled with outerwear pieces. Of course, there were beautiful evening pieces, but that’s not what this collection was all about.
The kicker: Everything was in hues of gold, bronze, cream and sand. Not exactly what you want to wear trekking – unless you’re living in Ralph Lauren’s romantic world (and don’t we want to?)
