This is the sort of collection that features clothes that I imagine Fashion Editors wear. Kind of avant garde and minimalist, yet trendy. There’s a futuristic vibe to this collection. Or maybe I’m full of shit and I have no idea what I’m talking about cause I’ve been looking at fashion shows ALL DAY LONG.
I mean, it’s nice.

I have nothing to say that would measure up to this collection. It was brilliant and exactly what I imagine myself wearing during the Spring, while living and working as a stylist in New York. Obviously, when I move to New York I plan to win the lottery or something so that I can afford these pieces, but that’s a minor detail. My dreams are big and who’s got time for realism these days?

This collection reminds me of the early nineties for some reason. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s full on nostalgia happening. Anyway, this show featured sharp middle of the head parts, somber expressions, and leather jackets everywhere. The fit ranges from close to body and tailored to loose and boxy. I loved the leather moto jackets and crop top/maxi skirt sets. Other than that, I feel like I’ve been there and done that.

This collection embodies everything that is Spring. There’s demure tailoring and lace and floral prints everywhere. It’s basically what you pick out to wear when you want to look good but also want to steer clear of side-eye from Granny.

Did someone slip me an acid laced sugar cube? I feel like I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole and everything is all iridescent and blurry. The floral artwork is an amazing backdrop to the clothing and the silhouettes of the dresses play well off of the flower blossom shapes. But the whole collection reminds me of playing dress up for some reason. Now, there are a few pieces I really love, like that clear trenchcoat and the two floral shirt dresses. But the rest is a bit -dare I say- childish.

If you’re 16 years old and looking for a junior prom dress, this is the collection for you. If you’re a high school student of indeterminate age and you’re looking for a dress to wear to whatever high school dance functions you kids have now-a-days, this is the collection for you. Anyone else: this is not the collection for you. Was this part of a reject reel from Crazy/Beautiful? I. Can’t. Even.
The website has some awesome, grown up dresses on it, but this Spring collection is something I outgrew when I turned 17. Thanksbutnothanks.

It’s no secret I love a well dressed man. What’s not to love? A well fitted suit, the perfect pair of jeans, a great shawl collared sweater…it all looks good. Luckily for me, Ralph Lauren’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection checks off all of those looks and more. Prepare yourselves and gird your loins.
