Dive into Autumn with Polo Ralph Lauren’s Retro Race Vibes
Step into a world where the racetrack meets vintage class. Polo Ralph Lauren’s latest for Autumn/Winter 2023 is a thrilling blend of retro race aesthetics and timeless elegance.
The new Polo Originals collection is all about revving up the nostalgia. Think motorsports mixed with old-school academic charm. Introduced just a year ago, Polo Originals salutes the iconic Tourist Trophy motorcycle race this season. The range includes items made from select fabrics: from race-ready jackets to cozy woolen pullovers, all echoing the brand’s trademark preppy rugby fashion.
Marrying sporty biker ruggedness with English school charm? That’s exactly what this collection achieves. It’s a runway where sporty meets scholarly.
The spotlight isn’t just on the clothing. TikTok sensation Jacob Rott from the Elevator Boys fronts the campaign. Ace photographer Richard Phibbs captured these moments at the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit in Chichester and the serene English lanes.
Classic vibes shine through with timeless Polo Ralph Lauren pieces, like Fair Isle sweaters and corduroy pants. Yet, motorsport jackets steal the show.
One standout is the Camo Oilcloth Jacket. Borrowing from Ralph Lauren’s vintage designs, it’s made of British Millerain® oilcloth, wax-coated to bring out its intricate design. Branded emblems draw from retro racing gear, making it unmistakably Polo.
Then there’s the Asymmetrical Oilcloth jacket. Taking cues from Ralph Lauren’s treasured archives, it boasts classic racing features and pins that breathe life from the past.
A highlight not to be missed? The Hand-Painted Leather Cafe Racing Jacket, a nod to Mr. Lauren’s own collection. Crafted to mirror the vintage, used feel a biker exudes, each jacket bears unique graphics hand-painted by skilled artisans. These designs echo old-school racing promotional graphics.
And how was this awesome collection unveiled? At the Goodwood Revival fest between September 8th to 10th! It was a grand affair with bubbly, meals, old-world car rides on the circuit, behind-the-scenes paddock trips, and sky-high helicopter tours of the majestic Goodwood grounds.
