The Ralph Lauren Archive Is the Gift That Keeps on Giving
In a new capsule collection with Browns, the US outfit proves itself to be a bottomless well of great clothes
Browns x Ralph Lauren
Remember Ralph Lauren's Polo CP-93 capsule? It was very good, wasn't it? So good, in fact, that it sold out quicker than a vial of Moderna in the dark web's auction hall – just like its vaunted collab with Palace in 2018, and the Winter Stadium skiwear-turned-streetwear offshoot later that year.
Big clickthrough wasn't the only common thread either. All of these collections riffed on Ralph Lauren's archives – an impressive vault that spans over 54 years in the game of Hamptonian clothing – to prove that colour-blocked rugby shirts and Harrington jackets are just as much old prep as they are new prep. And they're still giving up new stuff. Your cold hard evidence: the latest collaborative capsule collection with British luxury retailer Browns.
