When I read this description for Ralph Lauren Home's new collection I thought dear god, they know me.
They
really know me! I was swept up in a whirlwind of terms.
Old World, history, bohemian romance.
Eclectic & gently disheveled. Sweet Jesus! I'm already a devoted member of the
Church of R. Lauren and this description only instilled further belief in him.
Well let me tell you, the collection is pure glamor. It might actually be a little too glamorous for me, I think.
It's elegance embodied. As if Jackie O. transformed into a home furnishing collection. Which is to say that it is flawless but just a little too mature for my taste. In other words this has caused me a slight crisis of faith.
I need more flair, a strange statue of an animal, an odd drawing of a penis something profane. But I guess those things aren't really Ralph are they? This is a little too much like they pulled out their "Old World Calculator" and added the obligatory dark wood, crystal and gold accents, rich fabrics. etc.It sounds like I don't like it. lol I do! Just not as much as I thought I would
So like some classical painting, I'll stare, I'll appreciate, but it ain't coming home with me--well at least not all of it. lol
