Ralph Lauren staged an outstanding lavish runway show in the spring of 2008 which was based on classic lady-like looks straight out of the vintage movies. His show featured ruffle-hemmed gowns, sexy fishnets and oversize picture hats. He also featured stunning colorful floral-print silk-georgette evening dresses that reminds me of the classic floral scarves of the 30's. Lauren commented on this collection saying - , "I drew upon everything I ever loved, and that was it." Ralph Lauren has been one of the top designers in the industry (and one of my favorites) because he turns out unique designs drawing on classical historical high-society looks. Ralph Lauren continually masters every outfit in his collection while other designers have only a handful of great designs in their seasonal collections. Ralph Lauren stays at the top of the fashion industry because of his eye for great design and attention to detail. (Read More.....)
