Ralph Lauren 2014. For those who aren't common with the term
resort, it can be described as the designers pre-show and what used to be
called 'cruise'. Over the last few seasons, I've noticed more designers holding
actual shows rather than just showings by appointment. I've also noticed that
the collections are becoming more feminine which is great. I remember a few
seasons back each piece was definitely verging on the more masculine androgyny
which was ridiculous for a girl's girl.
Ralph Lauren held two shows that were filled with a sense of
spring with lots of delicate feminine blooms such as pink peonies and white
roses. The images above only show a small selection of the outfits on show.
These were my top picks although I don't think there was a piece I didn't love
or see as being workable.
I would describe the
collection as having a definite 'ballet chic' theme - Feminine, floaty and
ultimately elegant. You could see the similarities between the clothing and the
blooms that were used to decorate the shows.
Each piece was made with the most luxurious materials;
silks, leather, cashmere and georgette materials all cut so that you look
tailored, structured and put together. Pinks, lavender, black and white were
the colours of choice s. Make sure you’re keeping that in mind guys when you're
purchasing your next capsule wardrobes.
For this collection, Lauren wanted to make everything
simple, delicate and chic. He also
wanted to make sure that the collection was transferable between seasons. So
you can wear it in summer and then team it with an awesome coat and accessories
for fall.
Ralph said “I wanted
to show more of the things that sometimes don’t get shown,” “Sometimes, we have
collections that we don’t really promote and they sort of dissipating, and we had
a lot of things in there that we really liked, and things that were ahead of
the moment. ''I have to fill the stores and keep them stimulated,” he said.
“It’s a process that I’ve learnt because of having my own stores. So, designing
these collections, I’m hearing the voice of the retailer, whether they work
with you or not.''
What’s your opinion of this 2014 resort? I personally was
swooning from the get-go.
