Who says Valentine's Day looks have to be red or pink? Hot off the heels of their 50th anniversary extravaganza last fall in Central Park, Ralph Lauren presented their see-now-buy-now spring 2019 collection in a more intimate setting–the new Ralph’s Café on Madison Avenue–with looks that are equally glamorous. From shimmering gold columns to plunging black jumpsuits, the collection is ripe with sexy looks that are perfect for a romantic rendezvous.
