Ralph Lauren to Show Fall/Holiday Collection in New York

Ralph Lauren is once again embracing his New York roots and will return to the city to show his fall/holiday 2024 collection.

The show will be held on April 29 at a venue that has yet to be revealed. The show is expected to be small and intimate and will reference the city in which the designer still finds much of his inspiration, according to sources.

Although the Bronx, N.Y.-born designer has shown his collections in a variety of cities over the years, he has been using his hometown more frequently of late. In September 2023, Lauren showed his spring 2024 collection at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, marking his return to New York Fashion Week. For that show, he transformed the location into a luxe artist’s loft in a barn and hosted high-wattage guests including Jennifer Lopez, Gabrielle Union, Ariana DeBose, Keri Russell and Diane Keaton for the runway show, followed by a dinner.

The season before, he showed his fall 2022 collection at Huntington Gardens in San Marino, Calif., in what marked his West Coast debut, but prior to that, he showed at MoMa in New York.

In perhaps his most expressive love letter to New York, Lauren celebrated the 50th anniversary of his company with a spectacular show at Bethesda Terrace in Central Park during New York Fashion Week in September 2018. That show drew stars ranging from Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton to Steven Spielberg, as well as a slew of other designers including Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, Thom Browne and Tommy Hilfiger.
