It was the eve of New York Fashion Week and the action was not in Manhattan, or even Brooklyn, but out in Bridgehampton, where Ralph Lauren presented his new collection to a star-studded guest list that included Dr Jill Biden, Jude Law, Laura Dern, Tom Hiddleston and Kacey Musgraves. The opulent location celebrated the designer’s favourite things, like horses, vintage cars and the Polo Bar – which he completely recreated for the occasion – and also his multi-generational appeal (Christy Turlington-Burns walked the runway with her daughter Gracie Burns), as well as, of course, his love for preppy classics.
