NEW YORK – Return to office culture is receiving the Ralph Lauren treatment.
The designer's namesake brand brought an A-list crowd and the fashion elite uptown to his Madison Avenue office building to debut his spring/summer 2026 collection Wednesday, Sept. 10, ahead of the official start to New York Fashion Week. But instead of power suits and computer monitors, there was an intimate coziness and undone yet chic comfortability to the clothing and the space.
As usual, the front row was a who's who of A-list stars: media icon Oprah Winfrey, her bestie and "CBS Mornings" host Gayle King, Mindy Kaling, Usher (who's the face of a new Ralph Lauren fragrance), Laura Dern and Anna Wintour, in one of her first major public appearances since Vogue's new head of editorial content was announced following her stepping down as editor-in-chief.
