Ralph Lauren A/W 2017

Mood board: Ralph Lauren looked to subtle, off-white sand dunes to inspire the color palette for the collection’s opening ensembles. The flowing final evening wear looks had an ethereal, goddess-like quality to them.
Scene setting: Guests watched the show from plush white chairs as models walked on a burlap carpet. Ralph Lauren took an elegant approach with the set; walls were covered in 100,000 white orchids and greenery, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Finishing touches: Oversized, gold circle-shaped pendants added a statement to the otherwise daytime looks. Subtle cut-outs added a dose of sexiness to simple, black maxi dresses.
