The program notes said it was all about "confident, feminine luxury" and it was pure signature Ralph Lauren, down to the slight nod to the great American Southwest. This took the form of amazing vintage silver and turquoise Navajo jewelry (necklaces, earrings, and belts), which were used to accessorize the clothing. Devoid of references (except perhaps to those from his past collection) and clichés, this was not a costume party but a collection filled with wearable yet highly collectible pieces. The smart urbane lineup was built around a classic palette of camel, browns, red, and of course, black and was completely focused on shape, cut, and silhouette- achieved by the pairing of impeccably fitted jackets in a range of textural tweeds, or close to the body cashmere sweaters- with a fuller skirt. 'Day for Night' and 'Night for Day' was evidenced in beaded wool pinstripes and one sparkly wool boucle trenchcoat that was a knockout. A group of beautiful long evening gowns was highlighted by one in particular that seemed to have been suspended from a large piece of turquoise on a silver chain.
