The iconic American fashion label presented its fall/holiday 2024 collection for an intimate crowd of stylish industry tastemakers including Anna Wintour, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jessica Chastain and Kerry Washington. The exclusive event took place on Monday, April 29 in New York City, set inside Lauren's private design studio, an homage to the designer's "first women’s show in 1972 where he presented his collection to a small group of editors and friends," according to the brand.
Lauren, who serves as the Chief Creative Officer of Ralph Lauren Corporation, says that this collection celebrates “timelessness” and “individuality.”
“The woman I design for has a beauty that comes from an inner confidence,” the designer explains in show notes shared with PEOPLE. “She dresses for herself. Her style is personal and bold. She’ll throw a hand-tailored jacket over a glamorous evening dress. She believes in quiet sophistication not defined by time or trends. My Fall/Holiday 2024 Collection is inspired by that woman, her sense of timelessness, her individuality — a style that is forever.”
Take a look inside the star-studded runway show, from backstage to the afterparty at New York's iconic Polo Bar.
