Ralph Lauren is breaking the mold in the fashion world by opting out of the traditional New York Fashion Week and instead, choosing to present an interactive digital experience for its upcoming spring show. Entitled ‘All or Nothing at All’, the highly anticipated event is scheduled to take place on March 25 at 7 p.m. EDT, featuring a special musical performance by none other than Janelle Monáe, a long-time muse for the iconic brand.
Unlike previous runway shows, this innovative showcase will be livestreamed on Ralph Lauren’s website, allowing fashion enthusiasts from around the world to enjoy the experience from the comfort of their own homes. Viewers will have the unique opportunity to not only witness the stunning women’s Ralph Lauren collection but also get a glimpse of the men’s Purple Label line. What’s more, attendees can shop the collection in real-time, embracing the see-now-buy-now concept directly through their screens.
This bold decision to deviate from the standard New York Fashion Week calendar is not unfamiliar territory for Ralph Lauren. In fact, the brand had already chosen to skip the February 2020 fashion week in favor of a presentation in April 2020, which unfortunately had to be canceled due to the global pandemic. The last physical runway show held by the brand was back in September 2019, captivating the audience with a club-themed event in downtown Manhattan featuring a stellar performance by Janelle Monáe.
This shift towards a digital runway show and enhanced online shopping experience is in alignment with Ralph Lauren’s strategic focus on digital marketing. In response to the challenges brought on by Covid-19, the fashion house announced plans to streamline its workforce and invest heavily in digital platforms to drive e-commerce growth and elevate the personalized shopping experience for customers.
With its upcoming spring show, Ralph Lauren is poised to deliver a dynamic and forward-thinking event that not only showcases its latest collections but also underscores its adaptability in this ever-evolving fashion landscape. Mark your calendars for March 25th and prepare for a groundbreaking presentation, featuring Janelle Monáe as the musical guest, that is sure to leave a lasting impression on the industry.
