Ralph Lauren Collection and Ralph Lauren Purple releases its Holiday 2023 campaign with a focus on sophistication and ‘heart’.

Models include Akon Changkou, Amrit, Caroline Trentini, Felice Nova Noordhoff, Juhyung Kang and Charles Oduro lensed by Steven Pan [IG].

Ralph takes ‘heart’ seriously, promoting real-life couple Akon Changkou and Charles Oduro.

Ralph Lauren is forever family and community-focused, saying “The holidays hold a certain sort of magic that can’t be captured—only felt within your heart. It is a season of warmth, reflection, and comfort that inspires you to dream of the best things in life and share them with people you love.”

Ralph Lauren has become one of AOC’s favorite luxury brands, because Lauren gives a great platform to tell America’s complex story — the great, the good and the painful.

We also contrast America’s own history — especially around race — with that of Britain, France and other countries in the world. Most recently, we used the Polo Ralph Lauren Fall 2023 campaign shot at the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit racetrack, located in the English countryside around West Sussex to explore university education for people of color in Britan and in America in the 1940s.

So deeply are we invested in using Ralph Lauren in our storytelling, I would know by now if they were troubled with this technique. They are not.

Sending love to one of the world’s best fashion industry citizens. Happy Holidays, Ralph Lauren from Anne of Carersville. ~ Anne
