Week 14

Having chosen that Ralph Lauren as the company i wanted to work for as part of my 'Live brief' for Dash & Miller, i set about doing some research into the company and how it designs / works.

Ralph Lauren home is an entirely different avenue when compared to the apparel side of the company. With collections being designed around specific title,

There was one collection that i found myself particularly drawn to, entitled Ticking Library. 'An extensive collection of timeless stripes'. Created using the highest quality cotton and linen mixes, the fabrics are introduced to a classic palette of deep blue hues, with shots of bright red, black and classic sepia.
