Called “Voyager,” the collection pays tribute to the modern explorer.
Blending timeless craftsmanship with a spirit of discovery, practicality and elevated luxury, Ralph Lauren presented its Purple Label Spring 2026 collection at Palazzo Ralph Lauren in Milan.
Rooted in the philosophy that clothing should express both individuality and adventure, Voyager is a masterclass in refined storytelling through fabric and form.
“For Spring 2026, our journey through the world’s finest textiles is a testament to the modern voyager,” Ralph Lauren said. “This is a wardrobe where quality meets utility, where handmade fabrics blend seamlessly with practical purpose. This is the essence of timeless style—where craftsmanship meets the spirit of adventure.”
From daylight wanderings to elegant evenings
Daywear was articulated through breathable open-weave sport coats, relaxed knitwear, and silk-linen textures in a muted, earthy palette of tan, ivory, and warm browns. The silhouettes leaned into a modern relaxed fit—unstructured yet precise, capturing a sense of freedom in motion. The details—subtle utility elements and fine tailoring—elevated the pieces beyond mere functionality.
Accessories played an equally important role: handcrafted leather bags, artisanal belts, and summer-ready footwear grounded the ensembles in a quiet, confident luxury.
As the day shifted into evening, the collection unveiled a captivating transformation. Tuxedos in textured black silk and Glen plaid silk twill suits nodded to classic formalwear while injecting a bold, modern elegance. Art Deco–inspired prints and monochromatic palettes reinforced the collection’s narrative of versatility and ease—where casual refinement meets polished sophistication, a hallmark of Ralph Lauren design.

Nautical notes and heritage craft
For high summer, the collection has tailored linen and cotton pieces in crisp whites and deep navy blues which channeled maritime elegance. Nautical-striped knits and classic espadrilles gave a relaxed, Riviera-inspired touch, while chrome accents added a modern glint to the nostalgic theme.
Rounding out the line were standout accessories: handcrafted turquoise-and-silver jewelry and engraved belt buckles, created in partnership with silversmith Neil Zarama (Chiricahua Apache Nation). The ongoing collaboration is part of Ralph Lauren’s Authentic Makers initiative, which brings heritage artisans into the heart of the design process, preserving age-old techniques while infusing them with contemporary relevance.
The event at Palazzo Ralph Lauren attracted an international guest list including Rupert Friend, Jesse Williams, Brandon Sklenar, Cooper Koch, Kim Woobin, Chay Suede, Jack Innanen, Pierce Abernathy, Jacob Rott, Tim Schaecker, Albert Muzquiz, Nic Kaufmann, and Dean Fujioka—each embodying facets of the modern Ralph Lauren man: worldly, stylish, and effortlessly cool.
