Ralph Lauren Fall 2010 Ready to Wear

I must say I am very impressed with Ralph Lauren this season. The equestrian preppy look that usually graces the runway at a Ralph Lauren show wasn't the case for Fall 2010. Instead, a completely opposite route was taken from the usual, as I like to think, country-club-old-money look. While the classic tailored look was still making a somewhat visible appearance, gone were the usual sweaters and button up pieces replaced by a boho-chic look. Something that definitely is unexpected from Lauren's line.

Florals and puffed sleeves seemed to be a common theme as piece after piece swept by. Another interesting addition was the use of velvet and suede, adding a renaissance age touch to the collection. The collection was a bit of a far cry from his usual designs that long time devotees are used to, but not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, very far from it. Where in most industries the older one is, the more washed up they are considered, it is always exhilarating to see someone as veteran as Lauren to still have the talent to surprise.

Here are my favorite pieces from the Ralph Lauren Fall 2010 Collection:
