The Great Gatsby

Be inspired by the exhilarating glamour & architectural cuts of Ralph Lauren’s beautiful tribute to opulent 1920’s & 30’s dressing…

When Diane Keaton stepped out over the weekend wearing a stunning suit from Ralph Lauren’s Spring / Summer 2012 runway show, she once again shone the spotlight on this sensational collection. Attending the Annual White House Correspondents dinner in Washington, Keaton’s impeccable style had a timeless, dramatic edge; while evoking the iconic look of her much beloved character ‘Annie Hall’.

“Authentic haberdashery influences such as pinstripes, pin tucks and slick metallic neckties create a Prohibition-era take on the classic three piece suit, while soft shades of blue and ivory keep trousers and double-breasted jackets feeling unmistakably feminine.”

Sleek, streamlined yet inherently feminine, the Ralph Lauren Spring collection paid tribute to the intoxicating glamour of the 1920’s and 30’s. “For Spring 2012, I was inspired by a romantic kind of nonchalance – an effortless glamour that is always timeless.” – Ralph Lauren

While stunning bejewelled eveningwear left us breathless, menswear-inspired suits were equally mesmerising. Sharply cut suits were sophisticated, chic and powerful. Clean lines emphasised exquisite tailoring and equally flattering silhouettes.
