Ralph Lauren was looking to safari and African travel to inspire his S/S '09 collection of women's wear. From khaki to silk, Lauren represents something casual and familiar but still sexy and relevant.

Don't take our word for it, check out the show on video with a visit to ralphlauren.com or this direct link. Lauren's seasonal presentation, during New York Fashion Week at Skylight Studio, actually takes place twice to accommodate the crowd. This is the Ralph Lauren Collection rather than Polo, Black Label or Purple Label. The catwalk we saw is the same show you can see at this link. We love the head wear, it ranges from ethnic and exotic, to chic and urban.
