Its blockbuster opening exhibition of recently shutdown by Nick Kev, the new Jack Shenman Gallery on Lafiete Street in Tribeca today hosted Ralph Lauren’s fall show. Outside, a crowd of curious audiences was assembled to catch anne Hathway, Naomi Watts and Michelle Williams. Inside, the guests were influenced by the Bix Art Splendor of the East headquarters of the New York Life Insurance Building, especially its 29-foot-high coffered sealing.
The setting was perfect for the new collection of Lauren. Dandy’s Jabot-color white shirt, often punctured with a jeweled brooch, was the star of the show, which was stuck in a black sweater in a pleated pants or wore under a single-breadted evening coat and ride jacket. A black -colored lace jabot decorated a rather sensational Ivory Panne Velvet Haltter Dress, which also showed a dramatic back details.
Due to Lauren’s preference to the off-schedule show, they are treated like events. In Hampton last September, for example, we saw not only their signature line, but also on the purple label and polo Ralph Lauren, men, women and children. Although he was talking about tension and bipolar in his notes today-“Masculine-and-Feminine plays and rugged-and-round”-It was a single message collection with a clear approach and more inspiring for it. He called it “modern romantic”.
Romantic frills are very high in the air at this time. For Lauren, however, this is a return to form. His 1980s and 90s advertisements have been constantly made on the mood boards of young designers, and they made a compelling case to quote themselves without apathy. It is a safe condition that more than one young woman thought of a velvet jacket and a soft Victorian blouse, saying how they could look together. Others may be wooed to tuck their full-foot pants into knee heels.
For the evening, Lauren often raises the glam – on more than one occasions the dress code in her show has called for black tie (for guests, she). Here, he swaps pearls and sequins for the bohemian tier of Raflles -Belted jackets on the pleaded chiffon maxi skirt. The belt of-white tafta shirtdress with lace’s inset that Mona Targard wore closer to the show seemed to be suitable for KC Musgravs, which also had a front line in ten gallon hats and tank tops.
A indexed sweater with beaded floral details worn with black trousers was a completely different idea for a particular night. Notes specified that it was a crack on something worn by Model Clotild Holby in the Lauren campaign of the 80s. Google is his name and it is right up – the cutest.
