Ralph Lauren to return Menswear Catwalk ?
Ralph Lauren told WWD that he is considering showing Menswear on the catwalk again : "I would love to show on the runway again, I'm thinking about it, I can't say I'm committed to it, be it's something that we thought about."
The designer, who presents his women's main line collection during New York Fashion Week, has several different men's labels, but hasn't held a full menswear catwalk show since 2007. He has only shown his Menswear collection with low-key appointments and off-schedule presentations.
It is still unclear where Ralph would set up the runway show, and which collections he would choose to exhibit.
"We've grown so much, it would be hard. We'd like to do it and we're thinking of it, but it would be a matter of how to put it together. We're a very international company now and our goal is to have more people around the world see the brand," he said. "It would be nice to set [the collection] to music. The artistry of a show is fun. But we would also have to decide what to show. All of it? Purple Label? Black Label?"
After having recently increased its presence in Paris, with a large shop and an amazing restaurant - called Ralph's - in the heart of Paris, maybe the City of Lights could be a perfect location ?
