Book Overview

The official and authorized overview of Ralph Lauren's womenswear collections, from their 1972 debut to today, presented through original catwalk photography

For fall 1972, Ralph Lauren (b. 1939) debuted his first full women's collection with a runway show for friends, buyers, and fashion editors in the company's original workspace. The line, which highlighted the brand's signature exquisite tailoring and Lauren's remarkable ability to infuse women's fashion with elements of menswear and outdoorsy detailing, made an outsized and immediate mark on the world of fashion. Over the five decades since then, the brand's designs--which also take inspiration from the natural beauty and rustic charm of the American West and New England, have become the gold standard for timeless American style with panache.

This book, eleventh in the critically acclaimed Catwalk series, provides a comprehensive overview of Ralph Lauren's womenswear collections from 1972 until 2025. The looks showcased here have influenced the way women dress all around the world. Alongside a rich visual exploration of the more than 100 collections themselves--featuring over 1,000 of the carefully curated catwalk images that are a hallmark of this series--are a history of the brand and brief essays about the highlights and influences of each collection. Clothbound in purple with elegant silver lettering, this volume is essential for fashion lovers and fans of Ralph Lauren.
