Ralph Lauren is kicking off New York Fashion Week
Ralph Lauren will kick off New York Fashion Week with a show in the Hamptons on Sept. 5. While the venue has yet to be announced, it is no surprise that Lauren is taking the runway out east for his Spring 2025 collection. The region has long served as his home, refuge and inspiration, the designer said in a statement. He even opened his first storefront in East Hampton in 1992. Lauren returned to New York Fashion Week last September after a four year hiatus from the runway. {WWD/paywalled}
