THE RALPH LAUREN BRAND TURNS 50, AND CELEBRATES WITH A LITTLE POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE

BY MATTHEW MIZRACH

Ralph Lauren’s namesake fashion house celebrates a milestone achievement this year, turning 50 years old. Not only is the company premiering an entire collection dedicated to the semi centennial, a hardcover book is being released as well Ralph Lauren: 50 Years, written in the fashion maverick’s own words. The volume includes nearly 1,000 images and illustrations from Lauren’s own collections, as well as advertising campaigns and personal musings based upon his experiences as a business magnate. Included in the package is a commemorative tote bag as well.

One of the most daring selections from RL’s 50th Anniversary Collection is this pair of Kinsley Patchwork Cigarette Leg Jeans. Featuring a slim fit and a mid-rise, with a haphazard patchwork that’s both bold and colourful. Pair with a simpler, mono-tonal top for maximum effect.
