Ralph Lauren Is For The Deadwood-Loving Wild, Wild West Woman In You
LatestRalph Lauren is obsessed with Americana, and today’s spring 2011 collection was a romanticization of The West. Think wide open spaces, prairie prints, cowgirl plaids, leather, lace. Think Paul Newman on a bike in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid!
Saloon girl meets cowgirl.
When times are tough, you can sew all of Grandma’s doilies together and make a duster.
There was lots and lots of leather and lace.
(Hanging at the bar outside of Taos?)
Lauren wasn’t just influenced by the West, but by the Southwest: This vest seems Navajo-blanket-esque.
As is this bag.
And this one.
How much do you think this faux-vintage cultural appropriation costs?
