NYFW: Ralph Lauren

  51

Theme:  The evolution of a school girl with a perfect nod to the 60's.

Palette: Began with black and white, introduced monochrome checks before flowing effortlessly into jade green, yellow, scarlet and blue.

Acc:  Knee high socks, glasses, Mary Jane shoes and tie's a plenty.

Beauty:  Minimal make up, soft middle partings with straight hair.

Key Look:  Look 51 (left) featuring a gorgeous black asymmetric dress that has a place in every womens wardrobe.

Review:  Ralph Lauren manage to strike a perfect balance between the 1960's and 2014 with swinging hemlines aplenty.  The show opened with a mature schoolgirl theme in a monochrome palette before being punctuated by bright summer hues of green, yellow, scarlet and blue.  There was a perfect mix of masculine and feminine with a sharp all white suit hitting the catwalk one second and gorgeous bright dresses the next.  Shift dresses had panels on the sides and one amazing dress was even finished with a full length cape.  The best part of the show?  Then man himself  giving us a wave in an outfit that matched that of the show before him.
