Darn...I thought this was gonna be the first perfect collection, then there's this
Ahh well, still my fave!

Err, ok
Beautiful collection but I can't see how it fits into the "ready-to-wear" concept. Maybe I'm just being ignorant, but still... some of the dresses look more like nightgowns

 

[Acid]

perhaps there was more daywear in the show.....i will have a look

It's a beautiful collection, indeed, but judging from these it's a tad bit too classy. He did a good job though.

Ralph Lauren bucks Fashion Week trends

NEW YORK (AP) — Ralph Lauren threw out conventional wisdom for his spring 2005 collection, eschewing the casual elegance that dominated New York Fashion Week for all-out, show-stopping glamour.

One liquid satin look after another — almost all in an ivory white — came down his runway Wednesday as eight days of previews for fashion editors and retailer buyers came to an end.

Lauren said he used the sophistication of old-time Hollywood and the chic refinement of cafe society as starting points for his collection, which featured several halter gowns, fuzzy cashmere sweaters and some tailored jackets paired with capri-length pants or Bermuda shorts.

"Romantic silhouettes in soft feminine fabrics create an alluring display of ethereal elegance with an emphasis on fine tailoring and handcrafted embellishment," he said in describing the collection.

Lauren added: It's all about "languid luxury."

There were touches of the trends, though: lots of skirts, metallic embellishments, flirtatious ruffles and breezy fabrics such as chiffon, tulle and organza.

"This was very pretty," said Cindi Leive, editor in chief of Glamour. "It was all one idea but those dresses were so gorgeous. We'll see them on so many celebrities this spring."

Leive also liked the way Lauren tapped into the metallic trend that's been all over the catwalks. Linen fabrics with a hint of silver and a delicate silver beaded gauze top were very clean and elegant interpretations, she said.

Very pretty, almost too pretty for my taste. I don't love it, but that satin gown on Julia is divine!

[Foxie-Pooh]

It's pretty, and nice. However, it doesn't feel too "Ralphish"

 

[Amélie]
