Last year I decided that I would always end my Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week experience with the Ralph Lauren show, even if I received invites to other shows on the final day of fashion week. Why? Because I like to end fashion week on a high and in great anticipation of what we will see in the next six months. Mr. Lauren is truly a legend, and I like to describe his shows as a "religious fashion experience" because they are what fashion dreams are made of -- absolute perfection from beginning to end. Even if you don't consider yourself the typical "Ralph Lauren woman," as each look comes down the runway you think to yourself "I want it all" because the looks are flawlessly styled from head to toe.

Once again, this season's show did not disappoint! It started in classic Ralph Lauren style -- menswear for women in plaid and tweed earth tones, layered to perfection with fair isle print sweaters and animal print shearlings. As the collection moved from day to night, you saw a gradual crescendo to red and purple velvet suits, black leather dresses and skirts, and raspberry silk evening gowns. My favorite two looks from the collection (pictured above) were a gold chiffon beaded evening dress paired with a black and gold dusted shearling and a black satin evening dress topped with a black and gold ostrich feather cape. I literally gasped when the latter hit the runway, and I've been dreaming about that gorgeous shearling ever since. Hmmm -- perhaps I need to call the boutique and put my name on that wait list!
