Perhaps it was the excitement surrounding the upcoming remake of The Great Gatsby, but the Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 collection was extremely influenced by the 1920s and the film especially. Everything from the colors to the silhouettes screamed "flapper" and looked like something that Daisy (played by Mia Farrow in the original film) would wear. After all, it was Ralph Lauren who designed all of the costumes for the original 1974 movie shortly after founding his now impeccable and world famous fashion house.
The Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 collection was dominated by mint greens, cotton candy pinks, lovely lavenders and gorgeous ivory shades. In other words, if you could take spring and put it on your body, this collection would be it. With a ton of silk and cashmere making appearances in the Ralph Lauren Spring 2012 collection, there's no doubt that this is one luxurious fashion house that is not going anywhere soon.
