For Fall 2015, Ralph Lauren Purple Label makes a glamorous yet masculine statement with fine Italian-made suits and formal dressing, elegant sportswear and a range of flawless outerwear silhouettes featuring advanced construction techniques and some of the world’s finest fabrics and skins.
A sophisticated fusion of heritage inspirations and sleek polished fits, suitings are reinvigorated for fall in dot-striped dark charcoal and black barathea wool. Slimmed-down two and three-piece silhouettes boast peak and notch lapels, pairing handsomely with crisp club collar shirts in white and cream. For formalwear, hallmark looks include a black shawl-collar dinner jacket with a tonal jacquard woven floral motif, as well as a double-breasted version in rich purple velvet. Evoking the stately poise of Sir Winston Churchill and his famous siren suits, a belted version features double pleats in black barathea wool for a look of refined distinction.
In sportswear, classic equestrian-inspired looks are modernized in stark black with hits of rich brown leather and suede. Evoking a contemporary sensibility, lounge pants and crewneck pullovers are knit from plush cashmere; seen alongside Chesterfields and melton wool sport coats. A statement-making three-piece suit in supple lambskin features beautiful hand tailoring. Mixed-media sweaters and outerwear include cashmere cardigans with channel-quilted suede at the front, leather shirt-jackets and a bonded leather walking coat lined with suede.
Inspired by the ultimate country shooting party, gentlemanly tweeds and plaids are complimented by vibrant pops of color and outerwear pieces in bonded shearling and suede. Shadow plaid sport coats, tartan trousers and a brown suede track suit bonded with cashmere strike the perfect balance between contemporary chic and Purple Label heritage. Rounding out the collection, slim-fitting flannel and knit cargo pants are worn with a range of handsome outerwear.
Designed for the holidays and the après-ski set, a graphic, ultramodern collection features active-inspired knit bottoms with quilted panelling at the knees, chunky cashmere turtleneck sweaters in vibrant hues and a wide range of new outerwear silhouettes—from brightly colored down-filled parkas to shearling overcoats and quilted leather jackets. Inspired by the prestigious and glamorous St. Moritz Polo World Cup on Snow, a sleek capsule of black and white Nordic sweaters, knit cashmere bottoms and polished wool and cashmere topcoats define a sportier, more modern sensibility from Purple Label.
