Edited by Tania Fedio We've already had a glimpse of what designer **Ralph Lauren** has in store for his high fashion fans in a previous post where we featured our top 20 picks from his **Spring '09 collection**. But this time, we specified our list to the specific ensembles which matched the African Spring theme. Check it out, a jungle safari adventure has never looked so fashionable! ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_1_400x600.jpg) When I searched for what the 80's harem pants looked like – they were definitely unsightly! But the designers have given them a fresher, more modern and prettier look for the runway shows over the course of **NY Fashion Week**. This gold harem pants is no exception – and when you matched it with the Indiana Jones-esque hat, the low slung belts, the ripped shirt and the messenger bag – the results are just fab! ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_2_400x602.jpg) I just love the color of that crisp men's shirt that was given a feminine touch with the help of a liquid-like fabric. The matching pants, shoes, belt and other accessories **perfectly blend** together. ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_3_400x599.jpg) This is probably one of the most casual ensembles that we've seen so far – I just love the combination of the knitted, dark top and those **printed shorts**! ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_4_400x603.jpg) Give an **urban touch** to power dressing with this shimmering women's suit by Ralph Lauren. ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_5_400x598.jpg) This is my personal fave from the lot – from the dark green dress, the belt to that really unique jacket – the entire ensemble is drool-worthy! ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_6_400x603.jpg) This simple yet elegant dress may not exactly be suitable for a **jungle safari **– but it's definitely a welcome addition to my closet! ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_7_400x602.jpg) The fabric used in those pair of pants look like liquid silk – and the overall look is urban and sophisticated. ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_8_400x598.jpg) I am absolutely head-over-heels in love with this flowing **printed dress** that's formal enough to be an evening gown! ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_9_400x599.jpg) Again, there's that signature **Ralph Lauren**, crisp-shirt look – and it has never looked more fab when incorporated in an all-white suit! ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_10_400x601.jpg) Steal the show at any event that you will attend with this off-shoulder, linear gown by **Ralph Lauren**. ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_11_400x602.jpg) I don't know why – but this all-white outfit reminds me of an old **James Bond movie**. It’s probably the structure of the jacket which has a vintage feel to it. ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_12_400x598.jpg) Now this is what I cal high fashion! This all-white ensemble makes the wearer look **pristine**, **chic **and **ultra-sophisticated**. ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_13_400x601.jpg) I can't help but sigh at the sheer **femininity **of the silhouette of this white, V-neck dress. ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_14_400x602.jpg) Next, we have this satiny, **luxurious black gown** with the gold-and-sheer detailing on the chest. ![](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2008/09/ralph_lauren_ny_fw_15_400x601.jpg) The final item on our list of African Spring inspired clothes fro the **Ralph Lauren Spring '09 collection** is this simple, flowing black gown with the sheer detailing on the chest.
