Ralph Lauren Collection Fall 12 Black Merino Wool Leather Trim Knit Sheath Dress

There are moments when the city exhales—just after twilight, when traffic stills and the lights along Madison Avenue begin their golden performance. You step out—not to be seen, but to be remembered. In this Ralph Lauren Collection sheath, memory does the work for you. Crafted from a fine-gauge Italian merino wool, this sculpted black dress molds to your silhouette like smoke in a highball glass. But it’s the shoulder straps—broad, sculptural, buttery soft saddle-brown leather—that command attention. Not unlike bridle straps pulled from a Fifth Avenue carriage horse, the detail is pure equestrian noir. A nod to Ralph’s heritage: luxury in motion. Sport meets seduction. Cut to flatter. Built to last. A clean, minimalist body—no zip in sight, only a discreet pull on entry and a flawless fit that skims the body with quiet elegance. Day into dusk, boardroom into Bond-girl—all without missing a beat. From the Fall 2012 Collection that pushed Ralph Lauren’s sport-luxury aesthetic into high-definition, this piece turned heads in a Fifth Avenue flagship window dressed in hay and high drama. Now it’s ready for your story. Gently loved. Light adhesive transfer on interior strap. An RL collector’s dream. See all photos. Store window pics of dress, stock pics for inspiration.
