NY Fashion Week is officially over but a secret hobby of mine is to go view EVERY collection online. Here's a preview the spring 2010 highlights. To view the entire collection via style.com, click on the designers name.
Ralph Lauren tells an interesting story with his spring 2010 runway collection. Focused on the depression era, Ralph gets very detailed dressing the models in newsboy hats, vest, distressed boyfriend jeans, floral frocks and mens suits. Towards the end of the collection he gets a little glitzy in blue flowy dresses and gowns. "I believe in the resilient spirit of America. Hard times seem to sharpen our capacity for idealism and our optimism that tomorrow will be a better day. I am inspired by the character of the worker, the farmer, the cowboy, the pioneer women...I have always admired the honesty of their work wear..." Ralph definitely nails this collection!

In her signature red, white, grey, black and stripe there were jersey dresses, roughing, and her classic sleeping bag coat.
