Meet the Modern Romantics.
Ralph Lauren brought magic to New York City for Fall 2025 with his vision of the “Modern Romantics.” The American fashion house takes romanticism by combining these key elements: masculine and feminine, rugged and refined. However, what thrives for the season are rich, moody colour palettes and textures on soft silhouettes.
As models stride on the runway with elegance, you’ll spot that the whimsical essence of ruffles takes control. Whether it’s through the edges of blouses or on necklines, the intricate softness of these details appears as a centrepiece beneath wrap coats and aviator jackets. Pristine white lace, sheer, and dark floral prints make their way onto billowing dresses, captivating every fashion maven with these exquisite silhouettes that are destined for any soiree.
Closer look into Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2025 collection:
Tracing back to the brand’s rich history, a hand-beaded sequined sweater with floral motifs was reminiscent of an iconic look worn by model Clotilde Holby in an ’80s campaign.
Another key element that plays a starring role is the interplay of form and function. Wide-collared jackets transition seamlessly from leather to suede, while hand-distressed black leather adds an unexpected twist to a utilitarian boiler suit.
In the accessories department, belts provide a harmonious finishing touch to the collection across tailored and floor-length silhouettes. The collection’s footwear includes over-the-knee Barnet boots, which first debuted in the pre-fall collection, and the Quinn bootie, which introduces a take on the classic cowboy design. For the season, the Ralph Satchel makes its debut with a relaxed and purposeful design that takes inspiration from Lauren’s passion for high-performing cars.
To witness the magic of it all was a list of star-studded names, including Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Sadie Sink, Sarah Catherine Hook, Naomi Watts and more.
