POLO RALPH LAUREN FALL 2016

POLO RALPH LAUREN FALL 2016

Designer Ralph Lauren delivered a classic, contemporary collection fusing country, the south west and city slicker connotations for the modern day American woman. It was an exceedingly wearable collection paired with Lauren's luxurious design DNA. 

An oversized, ribbed, knitted jumper in the delectable shade of peanut brittle was worn nonchalantly off the shoulder. A matching slouch beanie oozed of casual cool. A sumptuous suede, pencil skirt featured an asymmetrical hemline and was worn tucked into the cosy knit. A milk chocolate and cream, ponyskin, cowhide and suede tote featured suede fringing while peep toe, terracotta suede booties added a sophisticated edge.

A ribbed, oatmeal cardigan starred deluxe fur panelling. A streamlined, classic white shirt was paired to the cardigan and vanilla fudge , leather skinnies complete with ankle zip detail. Fringing highlighted suede, braided, latte hued stilettos with ankle strap. Fringing continued to make an appearance on a honeyed, buttersoft, gargantuan, drawstring hobo.

Downtown cool reigned supreme on an insouciant ensemble comprising of a basic grey marle tee, tweed waistcoat which was layered to a terracotta leather, knee length coat. Grey wash, hipster denim skinny jeans were tucked into midi length, tan cowboy boots.

A sensual, seventies suede outfit modelled by Aussie model, Bridget Malcolm consisted of a shrunken, tan suede blazer and matching narrow suede flares. A white shirt was worn unbuttoned adding allure.

A muted khaki slip dress incorporated boudoir dressing. The slip dress was highlighted by a plaid, monochromatic shirt which adorned the waist. An androgynous leather biker jacket was thrown over the shoulders. Chunky charcoal, knitted socks were married to platform, suede, clogs.

Metallic accents ignited pewter, moto skinny jeans. A cashmere, charcoal turtleneck poncho was married to a military green fluid blouse. A Navajo inspired hobo in neutral tones added earthiness to the free spirited number.

A black and white pinstripe suit was updated in youthful proportions. Tailored shorts featured a loose leg silhouette. A masculine, oversized blazer was coupled to a sleek waistcoat. An ebony boiled wool pork pie hat accompanied the dapper combination.

A series of luxe, athleisure wear closed the collection and included a silver, metallic quilted jacket, molten metal puffer vest, full length tights in block colour and Ikat prints, lacquered 3/4 tights with contrasting olive panelling teamed to an American Indian print derived hoodie.

A practically minded collection with a succession of garments that are loyal, reliable and hard working in a woman's everyday wardrobe.
