Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2015 Collection was a sensual, textural, cozy winter wonderland. From lush sophistication to nomadic romance, artisanal shearlings, strength, and dimension were used to create the pure spirit of simple elegance. Inspired by a woman who dares to express her individuality with bold creativity, the collection was destination themed, and yet also urbane. With rich suedes, rustic tweed, and fringe everywhere—on shawls, on bags, and even on embroidered ankle booties, the collection was strikingly nomadic and chic. There was also a sleek polish to the minimal knitwear, with plenty of simple, straightforward tailoring, as well as mostly heathery natural shades of brown and cream. The fur was abundant as well—although Ralph Lauren is strictly against using real fur. That explains why the inventive vests, jackets, and ponchos were pieced and patch-worked. Ralph Lauren world circles around the chicer snowy enclaves during the fall and winter months, where a horn-toggled low-slung leather belt keeps your layers of “heathered truffle” cashmere altogether, your sable-looking shearling tops off your oversize trench, and your creamy embroidered crochet is rendered perpetually Sun Valley–ready by the sheer volume of fabric involved.
