See original article

Setting and Ambiance

Ralph Lauren's Fall 2025 fashion show took place in the historic Clock Tower Building in Lower Manhattan, a departure from his previous shows held in his own designed environments. The venue, with its Italian Renaissance revival architecture, added to the show's overall tone.

Notable Attendees

Celebrities in attendance included Anne Hathaway, Kacey Musgraves, Ariana DeBose, and Sarah Catherine Hook, each showcasing their personal style.

Collection Highlights

The collection's centerpiece was a series of large, pleated pants in leather and wool, styled in various lengths, sometimes resembling pantaloons or knickerbockers. These pants were often paired with lacy jabots, ruffled white shirts, or beat-up leathers. The color palette mainly consisted of black, white, camel, and brown, accented by flashes of amethyst.

Overall Impression

The show was notable for its distinct lack of corsets or bustles, instead focusing on the unique styling and voluminous nature of the pants and the complementary layering of the tops.
