Ralph Lauren

I adored most of what Lauren came up with for the spring and summer seasons. Although Morocco has been a place of inspiration for many, Lauren catches the spirit of the place in his clothes rather than simply transposing the silhouettes into something American. It was an luxurious, elegant, and carefree collection, and the setting heightened how his pieces glimmered like stars in the night sky.


These first few ensembles are translatable for both the young and mature wearer - a testament to Lauren's ability for timelessness. The beauty of the rightmost piece is that the silk blouse is backless - an absolute indulgence for peacocks everywhere. For me, a bare back is the ultimate. I am also quite enamoured with the gold genie pants. They are just so comfortable and glamorous at the same time. Could a girl ask for anything more?



The beauty of these dresses are lost in the still photos. Their movement and shimmer is irresistible. I love walking in a full length gown, enjoying the movement of the fabric around my ankles. There is just something about it that can really elevate your mood.


And finally, these black stunners rounded up the show with such elegance. The details absolutely sparkled away and their fluidity totally evoked the feel at an event on a warm Moroccan night.


I find that the strengths of his collections are in the movement of the pieces and the perfectly crafted accessories that truly did bring Morocco to Paris for this show.
