plpietra 's review for:
Vogue on Ralph Lauren
by Kathleen Baird-Murray
Renowned for its classic aesthetic yet with an unnerving ability to capture the essence of what people want before they even know it, a Ralph Lauren collection has always had a basic premise: "to offer
something to wear when life demands clothes that feel good but don't make you look like you're trying too hard," (Joan Juliet Buck, American Vogue, 1992). Credited with creating the lifestyle concept, Lauren has never been about fashion for fashion’s sake; his are clothes for the lives people would like to be living as well as the lives people are living. Whether preppy or redolent of the prairie; rugged and outdoorsy or red-carpet fantasy; encompassing the soft pink taffeta gown worn by Gwyneth Paltrow to the Oscars or the mannish garb of Diane Keaton in Woody Allen’s classic New York love story, Annie Hall, Lauren's clothes smack of authenticity. As Buck put it: "The clothes of Ralph Lauren are a form of cinema, they fulfill the private function known in movies as the back story – telling you who
you are and who you were and where you come from – and the public function of demonstrating these things to other people."
