Ralph Lauren Opens New York Fashion Week with S/S 2027 Show at Tribeca Clock Tower Building
On 9 September 2026, Ralph Lauren unveiled his S/S 2027 womenswear collection at the Clock Tower Building in Tribeca, marking an unofficial kickoff for New York Fashion Week alongside Coach. Married to Ricky Lauren since 20 December 1964, he was accompanied by her for his final bow. Attendees were greeted with bouquets prior to the show, which Lauren described as 'an irreverent take on romance.' The collection blended romantic motifs with masculine tailoring, showcasing pinstripe waistcoats and distressed denim. Styles drew inspiration from the 1920s and 2000s, featuring corseted jackets that paid homage to the opulence of Louis XIV. A letter to guests, including Cynthia Erivo and Viola Davis, introduced 'a new elegance' and honored individual style.
