Ralph Lauren Spring 2011 Ready To Wear





Ralph Lauren Spring 2011 RTW


Ralph Lauren's Spring Collection had a distinct western feel to it. This look was mixed with Little House On The Prairie.


There was something for every age and occasion. Garments included white lace, Edwardian style blouses, teamed with collarless, leather jackets with fringing. Shorts ranged from tailored and mini to satin culottes. Dainty camisoles were pared with rustic, suede blazers. There were high waisted skirts and maxis with leather, double buckle, waist cinchers. Stitching detail was found on leather, lace up hipsters. Ruffles were a running theme found on coats, shirts and evening wear.


The collection had a feminine innocence to it. Halter, floor length gowns, in cotton, floral prints with lace panels evoked this. Other garments were blue, gingham coats with white lace trim, racer back body con lace dresses, embroided vests in earthy tones, crochet detail on blouses and cuffed, crisp white shirts with voluminous silhouettes, oversized collarless, shirt dress with tux bib detail. Fringed, silver, skinny scarves adorned models necks as did suede, tan chokers with turquoise stones.


Silver, tan and pewter accessories dominated the runway. There were woven, embroided shoulder bags, hobos and neutral clutches. Ankle wrap, high heeled sandals in tan and chocolate/silver cowboy boots completed the look.


Hair was worn relaxed with a centre part and out or scraped back into a ponytail with an 'undone' feel to it.


Whether your wardrobe needs an injection of day wear, cocktail or evening wear Ralph Lauren has you covered.
