Ralph Lauren Reveals the Location of its 50th Anniversary Show
Ralph Lauren has revealed the location of its 50th-anniversary show. The momentous runway will take place at none other than Central Park. The show will be held at the park’s Bethesda Terrace, on September 7th.
A celebratory dinner paying homage to the city of New York will follow after the runway. The designer made the decision to present his show at, Central Park, almost a decade ago. The brand’s 40th-anniversary show was held at Central Park’s Conservatory Garden. This was done in an effort to support both the park and Central Park Conservator and is the inspiration behind the pending runway.

Ivanka Trump is Closing her Fashion Label
Ivanka Trump is closing her clothing and shoe company. The decision comes in response to backlash the business has copped since she accepted a White House role. According to insiders, the namesake label never recovered after Ms Trump stepped away from her position. According to The New York Post, the label will shut “ASAP” and staff have been informed that they will be laid off.
Ms Trump, who serves as a senior adviser to her father US President Donald Trump, decided it didn’t make sense to keep the company running if she’s not returning. “When we first started this brand, no one could have predicted the success that we would achieve. After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners,” Ivanka Trump said in a statement.
