Ralph Lauren on Sensibilities of Fashion DesigningIn a bid to provee his point of views, Ralph Lauren has created a collection for spring/summer 2005 that hardly erred from his seasonal point of view: Thirties Hollywood glamour.
"WHAT I really want to do is a design school," Ralph Lauren said backstage after his show.
"To teach the sensibility of what goes into design, the building of a business into a company with a point of view. People start out designing and they don't have a voice that is theirs."
A flury of satin dresses, bias cut and featuring petal sleeves over jewelled empire necklines, was sometimes a little over-polished for the vintage-passionate London contingent, but in general this was a look that was tailored to New York's chauffeured set for whom diamonds are simply a wardrobe staple.
Old-time silver screen moments travelled up the catwalk in liquid silk of pale blue, pink silver and cream, while more modern looks comprised fluid cream blazers, smartly tailored slacks, linen shorts and pale overcoats that just perched on the shoulders.
Ruffled chiffon, powder puffed feather shrugs and simple V-neck sleeveless dresses with narrow shiny leather belts made for a show that was as feminine as it was complete and when Ralph himself took his bow in a pair of Thirties spats, it was clear that he is enjoying the moment more than ever.
