Ralph Lauren Spring ‘06 Runway Collection Ivory Damask Longline Cocktail Jacket

It was a warm, sun-dappled afternoon in Venice. You’d just slipped off the water taxi, the breeze carrying whispers of jasmine and saltwater, and there it was—your perfect moment. You needed only this jacket to complete it. This Lauren masterpiece; a narrative of timeless elegance. Crafted from the finest ivory silk brocade, its delicate chinoiserie pattern dances subtly across the fabric, capturing the light like the canals themselves. The long line silhouette with its structured Nehru collar and sculpted shoulders offers a blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication. Large, luminous mother-of-pearl buttons close the jacket with a covered placket, maintaining the seamless fluidity of the piece. The full-length sleeves are punctuated by four-button cuffs, and the two waist besom pockets add a discreet practicality. Fully lined in sumptuous silk, it glides on like a whisper. Imagine it paired with flowing silk trousers and kitten heels for an evening at La Fenice, or thrown over jeans and ballet flats for a morning stroll through the market at Rialto. Either way, you are the embodiment of sophisticated ease. Prepare for the world to slow as you pass by—this jacket commands that kind of attention. Gently loved, showing only the softest sign of its previous life. See photos for the nuance and magic. Approx flat: Chest 18” Shoulder 14.5” Waist 16” Hip 19.5” Sleeve 24.5” Rear Length 32”
