Ralph Lauren presented his autumn/winter 2025 collection in New York City, showcasing a blend of romantic and modern styles amidst concerns about global trade wars. The show, held in the Clock Tower building, featured glamorous evening gowns and sharp suiting.
Celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, and Naomi Watts were present at the event. The collection emphasized contrasts: masculine and feminine, rugged and refined, modern and romantic. Key elements included neckties, belts, laser-cut leather, and hand-embroidered lace.
The fashion industry is currently facing challenges due to tariffs, impacting supply chains and consumer confidence. New tariffs, some reaching up to 54%, affect over 180 countries. These changes force brands to reconsider design, production, and distribution strategies. Tariffs are expected to increase costs and limit consumer choice, with potential price increases and reduced variety in apparel.
