I know nobody asked but I was working in fashion back in the 80's and 90's and RL was the reigning King! The 80's fashion ads were selling the lifestyles as you described and all about look how money affords me these wonderful things. The 90's RL campaigns were focused on paired down looks or "minimalistic chic" led mostly by the economic crash in '88 and casualness of the new wealth emerging from a little place called Silicon Valley. A very less is more decade that still can be seen today yet still falls in line with having money, but not flaunting the fact.
Fun fact: that "Southwestern" style is not Aztec (although it descended from it). It is based on the gorgeous traditional Navajo woollen textiles called "Moqui stripe." I just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching your back episodes. Having a blast!
I was going to say "Navajo aesthetic" and then found this post. I live in Nevada. Navajo "nation" doesn't extend across the entire desert Southwest, but I think they are a good representative.
This guy paid attention when he was a salesman at Brooks Brothers. He saw who the big spending customers were and gave them a one stop for all the looks they wore, wherever they went. Genius.
I’m the oldie that subscribed because you deserved it. Love your ascetic and really really love Ralph Lauren clothing and the fantasy worlds they inspire. I would like to see your take on the Gibson girl look some day. Keep faith with the direction of your channel and success is sure to follow.
So..no collection at all for Spring/Summer 2022? Why? I wear ALOT of Ralph Lauren...and I have lived alot of old money places...so his clothung fits in lots of places for me. Actually most inspiration is British Country, English riding wear, New England prep, and even Ranch. Highly wearable clothing...at least for me. I shop vintage where I find my best RL fashion also end of season. I have 20 yr old pieces and older. They are very special to me.
Great video and I like what you're wearing. I'm from Canada and I also say Ralph Lauren the same way you do. And I like you're reasoning, ha ha!! I would say Navajo pattern but not sure with a conch belt?
Love love love this 👏🏽❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸❤️ So glad I requested this theme ☺️☺️ it’s like an indigenous/Native American inspired pattern for the southwest. RL is also more diverse with their models as well ❤️
Lauren. Lauren. Like the name. He literally chose it (to change his name from the Lifshitz) because he liked a girl named Lauren. It is NOT a regional thing - rather, it's simply incorrect to pronounce it Laur-EN. The confusion stems from Sophia Loren, I believe - a false homonym. It's as incorrect as saying Chelsea as Chel-SEE.
You are correct. lI's always RALPH lauREN. About twenty years ago, I some some ridiculous fashion boys go into the Manhattan flagship Ralph Lauren store and try to tell each other that it's pronounced RALPH LAUren. Dumb. That's the only time I heard that. Ever since the 1970's, when I first heard of Ralph Lauren, it's always, always been RALPH lauREN. Period. End of sentence. End of discustion.
The aesthetics of the ads are beautiful, and fascinating. They would not work today because they only include white people, as most advertising did then. Also the clothes look very hot, wool and turtlenecks. That works less in our world. But it's fun for escapism, like watching a movie or looking at an old painting. That pattern looks like Navajo.
@@FabSakker Spectaculairement ! I could smell the passion and feeling all over the place in this vid! I strongly encourage you to brake down every single “WORLD” of RL!
African Safari look: inspired by Karen Blixen and 'Out of Africa'. One can date the ad campaigns by the type font and photographic style, models, etc - mostly, if not wholly, Bruce Weber.
And they were all 🤌🏻✨ perfection. My favorites were always the equestrian, academic, rowing & coastal, British country and safari. 😅 Yeah, I really narrowed it down. Haha But in all actuality they were all simply so inspirational it’s hard to pick one. Or two. Or even five. ✨
Haha they are all just soooo good!! Means you can pick a different vibe every day, one day safari 🦓 next day nautical ⚓️ next day equestrian 🐴 ... and so on lol
Great Job! Looking at old Ralph Lauren ads always made me feel elegant. I would like to see your take on Ralph Lauren's now defunct "Rugby" line and the style in the old (pre Jenna) J. Crew catalogs from the 80's and 90's - which now sell for up to $50 on ebay. There's still a lot of love for the old J. Crew Style. The images in old J. Crew catalogs always told a story. While Ralph Lauren brought you into the world of old money, J. Crew brought you into a world of newer, younger, American money - done right. The world of Ralph Lauren, while elegant, always seemed unattainable. You were never going to have that sprawling estate with the priceless sculptures and the collection of fancy vintage sport cars or go on Safari and play with the baby lions while wearing white linen. You were an outsider looking in. In contrast, J. Crew catalogs made you feel you could have that better life. You can see yourself playing a pick-up game of touch football on a bright autumn day surrounded in fall foliage with all your pretty friends. You can ride your vintage bicycle in a seaside town. That could be my life if I just stopped buying lunches for three weeks and bought that sweater.
Hahaha yes, I can only hope to one day, effortlessly drape a lion cub across my neck... I just need to make sure it doesn't leave grubby paw marks all over my head-to-toe white linen outfit 😂 I hadn't thought of looking at old JCrew catalogues, what another great rabbit hole to go down! I LOVE your descriptions of the two worlds - unattainable luxury fantasy of RL vs the possible All American Dream life of JCrew
I used to purchase my clothes from the J.Crew catalogs in the 90s thats when I was in High School as well as Bullock, Robinson, and I. Magnum; usually off season. Luckily, I found Ralph Lauren pants thats made in the USA and some Giorgio Armani; back than the price of clothes was affordable.
These were all shot by Bruce Weber, who I hired for a shoot. While the pictures look "casual," they were meticulously worked. Every detail was fussed over.
@@Naturelady-rf5zx That was ironic, wasn’t it? Let’s show naked people to sell clothes. But that’s because they were really selling good looks, “cool” and sex.
I actually live many elements of this lifestyle. My family used to own a multitude of country estates and several manor houses, even a small castle at one point, and hence my style has been inspired by much of this old money stuff. My grandfather, an Espom and then Oxford graduate, has dressed old money/preppy his whole life, and these days he’s the only one in that side of the family who actually has any money. I went to a private school where I played a lot of rugby, though I never really liked horses and stayed clear of polo and the like. I also go shooting on occasion. In regards to the nautical elements of this style, I feel glad that my great-great grandfather from Scotland was a distinguished sea-captain and therefore I’ve got good reason to incorporate these nautical elements. No idea why I felt the selfish need to monologue about all of this but this style is so important to me because it reminds me so much of my family history and my own life.
His style is unparalleled. The designs and fabrics are timeless. The Purple label is outrageously expensive. Everyone is perfect in his ads. The models are gorgeous mannequins without a care! You can tell his clothing from a distance. The polo shirts and sweaters are well-made and last forever! Great expose…
The two jumpers you asked about - the one on the left worn by Clotilde was from the 1981 Sante Fe collection and was a 'fairisle' take on southwestern and the one on the right I think was from the same collection but a more Navajo aesthetic.
Ralph Lauren has always been my favorite designer. As a photographer, I can really appreciate his ads as something a real person can aspire to. I love the white and the navy. I had a Rio Olympics blazer that all the athletes wore as their uniform in the opening ceremonies. The men wore those navy blazers with white slacks that remind me of white Levi's 501 that are available today. I bought a pair at Macy's recently.
Love this video! I’m currently decorating my guest room with a Ralph Lauren vibe. Touches include antique wood furniture, vintage red Turkish rug, and white and blue bedding.
Great video. I am a Ralph Lauren aficionado and I especially love the vintage lifestyle ads. I downloaded as many as I can find and use them as inspiration.
I didn’t know you were going to address your mis-pronunciation, but a person’s name should be pronounced the way he/she pronounces it, not the way you prefer. LOR-en is how Ralph says it, so that’s how I say it.
Kinda going along with this, but when I lived in Monterey California for a brief period, I remember there was a clothing boutique that was obviously geared to women aged 60-80. From the window display i thought "what grandma looking clothes". Then for fun i tried on a bunch of said outfits, and to my amazement I legitimate felt like Mia Thermopolis in PD2 when she starts dressing classy casual. I think the older generations are onto something. Just saying to anyone reading this - give it a try
I had to stop watching when you blatantly pronounced“Lauren” incorrectly. I have so much respect for Ralph Lauren’s incredible vision; his eye for detail. Thumbs down.
The Safari look was very popular because of "Out of Africa," which came out in 1985. I watch that movie at least once a year just to look at the gorgeous clothes.
Dont forget, Ralph Lauren was inspired by Brooks Brothers! Brooks Brothers mentored Ralph when he was coming up in the Fashion business. He got the 'Old money aesthetic from Brooks Brothers. He just added a little extra to the aesthetic. Brooks Brothers started the use of Polo and Tennis as a marketing strategy to reach the Ivy league clientelle! When you study the Fashion business, most of the inspiration for these brands comes from previous era's! Like it says in scriptures📖 according to the Prophet Soloman(as)" There's nothing new under the Sun"!🌄
There was a menswear shop in Leura in the blue mountains west of Sydney called mainly for him. I think it was a photo pamphlet for the northern winter of 1995/1996. Lots of sailing but the one sequence that split my brain was a bunch of guys playing touch football in khakis, Oxford shirts school ties with rugby jumpers ties around their waist. Very baggy (it was the nineties) but I have never forgotten that. I’m into watches and it was funny that they showed a Rolex worn upside down to show it was a Rolex.
Carol Burnets long lost sister! Who knew? Back then we'd buy the magazines to check out the new Ralph ads! Men should start growing their hair long again, it looks so great. This is cool!
So fun to watch! Makes me wish I hadn't got rid of my R.L. brown linen safari shirt and R L flowered linen capris I ought back in the 90s when I worked at Nordstrom and got rid of them for being too wrinkly! Arg!
Where are you from? Your pitch is so unique. You don't sound southern, you don't sound like a tipical English posh lady, you don't sound like an American Valley girl. You're well spoken you sound elegant, educated and feminine.
I am from Sydney, Australia! I think a lot of people are probably used to hearing exaggerated Aussie accents on tv (like a crocodile hunter thing lol) so our accent can be hard to pick sometimes
I absolutely love the style and all the brand has done since I was a child. I remember my father bought a shirt just because I loved it and wore for me. Memories. 😭💗💗💗
Fab, you are fab!!! ♥️ your history of fashion videos are fun and interesting!!! I can get caught up in the fantasy, but your take helps me keep my own style at the forefront. BTW I am and have always been a major RL fan because of his timeless and classic style. Your research and presentations are always greatly appreciated!!😊👍❤
I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video Diane! ♥️ I too get caught up in the fantasy (it is too fun not to!) but I agree that it is always useful to translate into "real world" outfits ✨
The knitwear pattern is called fairisle in the first image and Navajo in the second. I was in my twenties in the eighties and these looks were my style inspiration. I have even dressed my son in Ralph Lauren since his mid teens and he would fit into these ads so well today, he even looks like the guy in the centre of the university image with the long hair. My whole style aesthetic has been influenced by Ralph including my home. Also we share the same birthday 14th October. This is the first video I have seen of yours but can’t wait to watch more x
I've always admired his clothing style. I'm not rich nor fancy but I love the colors and style it reminds me of English country. I'm not an expert on clothing styles so I might be using the wrong term for it. Oh yes I saw equestrian look on your video and love that so much. If I saw a purse with equestrian details (snaffle bit and buckles) I had to have it. Of course it wasn't Ralph Lauren brand I couldn't afford that. Just a beautiful look.
I am new on your channel and subscribed immediately. I like your humor and personality and the content is super interesting. This was also a great video with all the vintage pictures and your research.
Regarding the knitwear designs, I think most people would recognize them simply as Southwest patterns. There may be some historical distinction between Navajo and Pueblo and other indigenous motifs which would be interesting to learn more about. Traditionally, you usually see these patterns in all kinds of weaves, not really knitwear.

The patterns your looking at in the Southwestern is Navajo or Hopi weaved Rug designs. they also made full weaved dresses also
Perfect and comprehensive RL style analysis 😍 I enjoyed it so much! Didn’t know they had western/south-western aesthetic as well!
Thanks Sofia 💕👯♀️ It's actually crazy how many aesthetics RL has done over the years, and yet somehow they all tie together!

Thank you for your encouraging words Kaye 💕 I would love to do a Gibson girl look! I love the Edwardian era 😍
These ads make me want to have so many kids lol
Yes! And dress them up and have them look stoically into the middle-distance 😂
Wow I really love winter and nautical theme. ❄⚓
All of these pictures just scream high class and old money.
Late to the party, but the Southwestern print you mentioned is Navajo. American Indian.

The knitwear was called the Santa Fe collection 1981. According to the book Ralph Lauren in his own fashion written by Allan Flusser
The Safari look was very popular because of "Out of Africa," which came out in 1985. I watch that movie at least once a year just to look at the gorgeous clothes.
Ralph Lauren Safari (for Men mainly) is a fantastic early 90's fragrance. One of my favorites. And the bottle design is as classic as you can get.
This is literally my favorite aesthetic💓
2:35 I have never forgotten that burgundy, laced velvet dress. That ad has stuck with me since I first saw it in magazines.
Such a great video and you really caught me with a reference of Hornblower! it was such a great series and he was such. cute man.

Holy shit. I CANNOT believe you said Ralph Lauren wrong! Face plant
Great video. What a trip down memory lane with Vogue and Mademoiselle back in the day.
Despite being corrected so many times, why do you keep pronouncing it wrong. Please make an effort. It sounds poseur, not fancy.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Was that a zebra at 06:45 or a painted pony like Tanya Roberts rode in the SHEENA movie?
Love these. All the models are tan a fit
This is the best Old Money style video I've watched so far, thank you very much !!! ♡♡♡
The section you called “American western” is just called Southwestern.
Ty for this.....I'm big into RL and the lore, history etc
Safari = Out of Africa. You neglected to mention that reference.
So fun to watch! Makes me wish I hadn't got rid of my R.L. brown linen safari shirt and R L flowered linen capris I ought back in the 90s when I worked at Nordstrom and got rid of them for being too wrinkly! Arg!
I can’t see the knitwear pattern on the left very well but at first glance it looks like Fair Isle.

love your channel, fantastic analysis and i can tell you know your stuff!

As a native Arizonan :-), I would agree with the Navajo pattern assessment (on the right).
LOVED this video as I do all of the ones on your channel. I hope one day you do a Jackie Kennedy video.
Thank you Julius! I have a video about Jackie Kennedy - just search for Jackie Kennedy Style Guide and it should come up 😄
I've always admired his clothing style. I'm not rich nor fancy but I love the colors and style it reminds me of English country. I'm not an expert on clothing styles so I might be using the wrong term for it. Oh yes I saw equestrian look on your video and love that so much. If I saw a purse with equestrian details (snaffle bit and buckles) I had to have it. Of course it wasn't Ralph Lauren brand I couldn't afford that. Just a beautiful look.
You look like Liv Tyler
I loved this one! I remember seeing a lot of these ads at the time they came out (I loved the tartan tights especially)...hi from the US.
I love the tartan tights too! Definitely a look I want to recreate 😄
I am new on your channel and subscribed immediately. I like your humor and personality and the content is super interesting. This was also a great video with all the vintage pictures and your research.
Excellent vidéo, thank you ! Kiss from France !
Navaho, I believe. And, I'm certainly going to start wearing a pearl necklace with my Polo and Burberry shirts!
The Western-inspired print/knit pattern is known as NAVAJO (navAhoe - if you please)...

Regarding the knitwear designs, I think most people would recognize them simply as Southwest patterns. There may be some historical distinction between Navajo and Pueblo and other indigenous motifs which would be interesting to learn more about. Traditionally, you usually see these patterns in all kinds of weaves, not really knitwear.
I love this video, great concept! Love your style ❤
Thank you Diana! ♥️
