Thames & Hudson has published Ralph Lauren Catwalk: The Complete Collections, the first official runway retrospective for the American fashion house and the first US brand featured in the publisher’s Catwalk series. Authored by fashion journalist Bridget Foley, the book spans over 1,300 photographs across more than 50 years and 100 collections — from Lauren’s debut show in Fall 1972 to Fall 2025. The volume charts the brand’s evolution from early English country and American Western influences to its top-tier Purple Label, and documents Lauren’s cinematic approach to runway presentation. The series previously featured only European houses, including Chanel, Dior, and Prada.
