RALPH LAUREN FALL COLLECTION 2025: THE MODERN ROMANTICS

words by NATALIE GAL

Ralph Lauren unveiled their Fall 2025 collection with a star-studded runway show in New York City, showcasing ruffles, frills, lace, and velvet for a truly vintage-inspired aesthetic.

I’ve always adored the fashion of the Victorian era, the over-the-top frills and ruffles, the delicate silhouettes, and the meticulous attention to detail. Ralph Lauren’s new collection revives that long-lost magic, infusing it with a moody edge while staying grounded in urban minimalism.

The collection is a testament to the brand’s artisanal craftsmanship and its focus on structure. We see hand-distressed leather, silk linings, industrial metal snaps, and petite lace all carefully created. From white lace to deep, dark florals, the variety of silhouettes range from glamorous streetwear to enchanting evening gowns. The runway show also included some notable guests such as Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sadie Sink and Kacey Musgraves.

This collection is fresh, glamorous, and elegant - undoubtedly a modern ode to the Victorian aesthetic. After all, as Victorian author Oscar Wilde so cleverly put it, “one should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.”
