Summary: This was our first time covering Ralph Lauren in person and what an honor and wild ride it was! A ride out West that is. We were transported to cowgirl chic out west ramped up about 10 amps right here in Manhattan. This is the kind of cowgirl look any big city woman would be thrilled to wear. OK, there was tons of ivory (what else is new this season?), but there was also lots of wearable suede fringe, metallic embroidered natural colored jeans and a metallic fringe skirt with silver beads paired with a plaid blouse that I would be proud to strut down Madison Avenue wearing. Most looks were finished with amazing over-the-top covetable belts, even the evening gowns. There was something very reminiscent of his 80's cowgirl aesthetic ( I swear I owned some) yet with a completely modern twist. Only a genius like Ralph Lauren could pull this off and not look campy. It was treat indeed.
