There are perhaps no two things more elegant and graceful as a ballerina and Parisian woman, both of which have been channeled for the Ralph Lauren Resort 2014 collection. Dominating the second-floor salon of his Madison Avenue flagship, the line is full of ballet pink and black, not to mention lightweight materials, form-fitting silhouettes and the occasional beret.
Of course, added to the mix was the color lilac and with that some stunningly chic pantsuits and trenches that would make anyone's head turn. Incredibly feminine, the Ralph Lauren Resort 2014 collection reflects the designer's overall mission, "Everything is light, so she could be wearing it in the Fall, she could be wearing it in the Spring."
From cashmere wrap tops and fluttery georgette skirts to blazerss and second-skin turtlenecks, there are nevertheless two different looks in the collection.
