Ralph Lauren's getting good at this - the whole archival thing. After achieving sellout status with last year's CP-93 capsule, and tapping the hits of yore for a landmark Palace collab, the US designer has unlocked the vault once more with a brand new relaunch: the Polo Sport Collection.
Consisting of not one, but two limited edition line-ups, the reissue has placed old classics alongside new designs to channel all things good and great about the 90s. That means cotton denim dungaree jackets, utility jeans and accessories, with a sole menswear collection - the Polo Sport Silver - boasting jackets, bum bags and windbreakers.
First launched in 1992, the re-release was a first for a label of Ralph Lauren's stature. Instead of signature Ivy League polish, it was sportswear: the gym-appropriate stuff that was co-opted by streetwear pundits throughout the 90s, and something enjoying a resurgence today.
All of which makes Ralph Lauren's latest collection a clever (and on-trend) move. With the appetite for shell-suited, logo-filled retromania hungrier than ever, the Polo Sport Collection should keep the kids satisfied. For now.
Get your fill at the end of May from Ralph Lauren's Polo app, and online.
