In place of polo fields or tony stomping grounds, this time Ralph Lauren took us back to 30’s and 40’s fashion trends. The collection was inspired by character of worker, farmer, cowboy, and pioneer women of prairies, as he wrote in his program notes.
Models were seen in newsboy caps wearing faded and torn oversize jeans with blue work shirts, patchwork overalls, and nightshirts in mattress-ticking stripes. The line was cinematic like most of Lauren’s collections. After some white cotton organdy dresses and some thirties suits, pinstriped three-pieces with cropped and gathered pants were seen on the ramp.
The work jackets and carpenter pants were reappeared in blue ombré silk charmeuse, nightshirts came striped with beads, and overalls were transformed into a floor-grazing lamé dress. A pair of evening jeans, covered in silvery beads completely, took concept to the limit.
