Ralph Lauren Grand Plage Collection

WORDS Michaela Stehr

The Ralph Lauren Grand Plage 2017 Spring range is inspired by the seaside looks seen in the women’s Spring 2016 runway collection.

The entire collection consists of three themes: Grand Plage, Mulholland Drive and Half Moon Bay, each of which embodies a particular style.

From St. Tropez to Barbados, Grand Plage is inspired by luxurious seaside resorts. The bold, graphic nautical style draws from a classic colour palette of navy and ivory, with bright accents. Natural materials such as teak and braided water hyacinth are contrasted with white lacquer. The sailboat prints and sailor-pant stripes have been directly mirrored from the runway into fabrics that are perfect for the home.

Mulholland Drive brings sophisticated Hollywood flair with a relaxed Californian edge. Colours include champagne, sand and stone contrasted with rich and opulent textures, while Half Moon Bay embraces natural fabrics, including waxed pine and woven seagrass in a series of exotic paisley patterns, soft florals and subtle stripes.

The Grand Plage collection is available in South Africa through St Leger & Viney. For more information, visit ralphlaurenhome.com.
