PROS

Impeccable Event Experience: The grandeur of the venue, flawless production, and the surprise recreation of the iconic Polo Bar transported guests into Ralph Lauren’s world, making the event much more than a runway show—it became a full sensory experience. The seamless blend of fashion, ambiance, and hospitality elevated the presentation to a new level, solidifying it as an unforgettable highlight of New York Fashion Week and a testament to Ralph Lauren’s mastery in creating moments that linger long after the final look.

Star Power and Multi-Generational Appeal: Featuring models like Christy Turlington Burns and her daughter Gracie added to the collection’s message of timelessness and cross-generational style.

Versatility Across Collections: The inclusion of the Ralph Lauren Collection, Purple Label, and Polo lines offered something for everyone, catering to diverse tastes with preppy, sophisticated, and sportier elements.
Cons

Risk of Repetition: While the collection’s reliance on Americana and preppy staples is a hallmark of Ralph Lauren’s signature style, some may feel it treads familiar ground compared to previous seasons. However, Ralph’s consistency in delivering timeless, high-quality collections is part of what makes his brand so enduring, offering dependable elegance season after season.

Setting the scene for Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2025 show requires more than a description of the runway—it’s about stepping into Ralph’s world, where luxury, nostalgia, and modernity converge.

On the eve of New York Fashion Week, Lauren’s sprawling event unfolded in the Hamptons at Khalily Stables, an opulent 19-acre equestrian estate that felt like a natural extension of his vision. The setting wasn’t just picturesque; it reflected Lauren’s deep personal connection to the Hamptons, a place he calls his “refuge,” where he has made some of his most cherished memories. The ocean’s proximity, wide-open skies, and the signature equestrian vibe of the estate perfectly aligned with the brand’s essence of coastal sophistication and timeless American classics.

The mood of the collection captured the spirit of this landscape, weaving in elements of elegance, rusticity, and refinement. As models like Christy Turlington-Burns walked alongside her daughter, Gracie, the multi-generational appeal of Ralph Lauren’s brand came to life. Tailored menswear blazers, breezy whites, and sharp shirting in classic blue tones dominated the runway, reminding guests of Lauren’s ability to marry old-world charm with contemporary elegance.

THE WRAP UP

This Spring 2025 collection seamlessly fused emotional resonance with timeless practicality.

It was a love letter to the Hamptons, a celebration of American elegance, and a testament to Ralph Lauren’s place at the forefront of the fashion landscape.

After the final walk, with Quannah Chasinghorse closing the runway, guests ventured back to a dining experience that exceeded expectations. Though dinner was anticipated, few could have predicted the lavish surprise awaiting them—a recreation of Ralph Lauren’s iconic Polo Bar lounge. Complete with wood-paneled ceilings and brass lanterns, the space transported everyone from the breezy Hamptons to what felt like the heart of Manhattan. The evening’s menu, featuring local fish, burgers, and cocktails served banquet-style, added to the immersive atmosphere, offering guests a seamless blend of Lauren’s signature hospitality and design.

By honoring his legacy while remaining forward-thinking, Lauren once again proved that his designs transcend time, offering both nostalgia and modern appeal in equal measure. The seamless transition from the runway to the Polo Bar lounge solidified the show as one of the standout moments of New York Fashion Week, leaving guests with an indelible sense of Ralph Lauren’s quintessential American style.
