Military uniforms have been an important influence in the collections for Spring 2015. So has Asia. Ralph Lauren combined the two, with khaki safari wear and jumpsuits and brilliant sari-like silks. The crowning touch on the Passage-to-India vibe were brilliantly colored lavish jewels that were worthy of a maharajah. The shiny textures and beading combined with the casual army drab colors were striking. I just loved the combination of the neutral palette and the rainbow of gems. (There were some cool gold-washed bags as well.) What do you think? Is the overall effect too costume party with costume jewels? I am not sure if the jewelry was faux or fine (Ralph has a new fine jewelry line so it could be real.) But it will inspire me to combine more gem colors more often. How about you?
