Forget Fashion, Ralph Lauren's Cars Deserve A Show Of Their Own


If there's anybody who knows how to put on a show with class, it's Ralph Lauren. You can trust the fashion marque to achieve the impossible by dazzling an audience that is probably jaded from watching couture craftsmanship one fashion show after the other. This time the power fashion icon did it by hosting an audience of near about 300 people in his garage situated in New York. Take a look at some of these Twitter and Instagram captures of the show, we bet you'll be asking yourself the same question that popped in our heads-- who are the real models in this Fall 2017 collection, the men and women clad in his new fashion wear that swiftly passed by vehicles or the schematically lined up automobiles that have a net worth of over $300 million?

 

Arguably the best show space this New York Fashion Week, Ralph Lauren hosted the Fall 2017 fashion show in Ralph's Garage in New York #ralphsgarage #RLRoadToRunway #nyfw #ferrari #classiccars #fashionweek #fall2017 #newyork #carcollectors #ferrari

The trending hashtag for the shindig was #RalphsGarage, so we'll label the question rhetorical.

Ralph's automobile collection has been a topic of fascination and speculation for many for several years, so much so that he published a picture-book on it in 2004. This isn't the first time the collection has been open to public view either. There have been special exhibits, like the "L'Art de L'Automobile" held in Paris in 2011. If you'd like to get to know about his collection in detail, here's a link to purchase one, but of course many more fantastic vehicles have been added to his vast collection of over 80 automobiles, since. While it cannot be ascertained how many vehicles and which ones exactly, does Ralph house in that garage, we can still tell you that his collection includes some vintage motorcycles and rare classic cars that he may have even re-done to satiate his appetite for automobile aesthetics. After all, who can understand and appreciate the true beauty that is automobile design better than an artist himself?

Here's a list of some of the cars you'll find in Ralph's garage.
