BRIDGEHAMPTON, New York (Reuters) – Veteran designer Ralph Lauren chose the upscale Hamptons seaside resort for his Spring 2025 fashion show on Thursday, inviting fashionistas, celebrities and U.S. First Lady Jill Biden to his “home away from home”.
The designer, 84, presented his Ralph Lauren Collection, Purple Label and Polo Ralph Lauren lines for men, women and children at the show held in Bridgehampton on the eve of New York Fashion Week.
Actors Naomi Watts, Justin Theroux, Colman Domingo, Tom Hiddleston and Jude Law as well as singer Usher were among the famous faces seated in the front row and models Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington took to the runway.
“The Hamptons is more than a place. It’s a natural world of endless blue skies, the ocean, green fields and white fences, rusticity and elegance… It has been home, my refuge and always an inspiration,” Lauren said in a statement.
Models wore blazers paired with loose trousers, tailored suits as well as floaty white and pale blue dresses. There were plenty of stripes and fringes on designs, some crochet outfits and shimmering sparkles for eveningwear in a colour palette of mainly white, blue and khaki.
Bright colours – green, red, yellow and orange – featured in the Polo Ralph Lauren collection with outfits nodding to the Hamptons’ equestrian history.
New York Fashion Week kicks off on Friday and runs until Sept. 11.
