New York Fashion Week Fall 2026: Ralph Lauren Runway Recap
New York Fashion Week Fall 2026: Ralph Lauren Runway Recap
The curtain has officially lifted on New York Fashion Week, and Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2026 runway show has set the tone for a season of sartorial adventure and timeless luxury.
Ralph Lauren’s Renaissance: A Manor of Modernity
In true Ralph Lauren style, the show was an experience—transforming a downtown venue into a Lauren-style manor, complete with plush carpets and a sense of cinematic drama. The collection drew inspiration from the “renegade spirit” of an adventurous woman, with looks that effortlessly bridged eras and continents.
The Collection: Adventure Meets Elegance
The runway opened with a strong statement: rich brown tweeds, wide-leg trousers, and hand-distressed leather jackets reminiscent of Amelia Earhart’s daring style. Lauren’s signature blend of rugged Americana and English gentry was on full display—think newsboy caps, brooch-fastened capes, and antique floral prints.
Medieval metallics and chainmail-inspired mesh accents brought a touch of “medievalcore,” while velvet gowns and metallic skirts channelled Old Hollywood glamour. The collection balanced function and fantasy—perfect for New York’s polar vortex or a night on the red carpet.
