Ralph Lauren very at home at the English manor

NEW YORK (AP) -- Ralph Lauren and refinement go together like England and tweed. They all rendezvoused on the runway Thursday at New York Fashion Week.
"I have always loved the heritage and romance of England. My collection for fall 2012 is about a modern glamour inspired by timeless character and refined elegance of an authentic way of living," Lauren said in an email to the Associated Press.
To the music of "Downton Abbey," a popular PBS show about a British manor in the World War I era, models began their parade in riding clothes - plaid jodhpurs, houndstooth coats, Fair Isle sweaters and button-down shirts with contrasting white club collars - and ended in slinky evening gowns with jeweled collars.
There was variety in the silhouettes, with trousers, for example ranging from wide-leg pleated pants to slim cuts, and there were tailored jackets long and short. One of the most striking looks was an animal-print shearling jacket. The new version of the pantsuit was a below-the-hip lean blazer with skinny pants in the same plaid pattern but different scales.
The Ralph Lauren lady - and she is very ladylike even in man-tailored styles - relaxes at home in a black velvet smoking robe with a bright-red shearling collar, but when it's time for an appointment in town she looks like a million bucks in her black cashmere jacket, sequin-front cashmere sweater and high-waist pencil skirt.

The classical, elegant Ralph Lauren. Same as always but that`s ok since classic, luxurious elegance & quality is timeless.

So sick of the tweed. Love the evening

 

[TaylorBinque]

The evening gowns are all stunning. The length is perfect. The black dress is classy and such an investment.

I usually like Ralph's collections, especially the winter ones, but the first half of this collection was a bit of a disappointment being absolutely stifled by androgeny, did it have to be so extreme? It was simply fine fabrics sewn into 18th century mens wear accented by some very beautiful earrings and shoes (these being nearly the only things that would make the looks not suit a guy). That wasn't really cutting it though. It's like, why be a woman if your going to dress so much like a man? The last half of the collection was lovely though, very elegant dresses as usual, the gold trend showing up strongly without being tacky, thank God.
