Designing a range of classic prep-inspired sweaters and sportswear separates for ︎︎︎ Ralph Lauren to create the essential checklist for back-to-school with eclectic mix and match wardrobe staples.The asymmetrical silhouette was embraced to bring whimsy and curiosity into the collection, paired with classic styles in preppy colorways.
Aligned with “timeless by design,” most of the collection has been made with ︎︎︎ Better CottonTM to improve cotton farming globally. Better Cotton trains farmers to use water efficiently, care for the health of the soil and natural habitats, reduce use of the most harmful chemicals, and implement the principles of decent work.
