25 years on, Polo Ralph Lauren celebrate the iconic Polo Stadium collection with a 12-piece capsule.
Stadium P-Wing Jacket | Stadium Mashup Polo
This special-edition package pays homage to Ralph Lauren’s celebrated Polo Stadium Collection from 1992, which drew inspiration from the uniforms worn by American Olympians in the ’20s and ’30s. For 2017, Polo Ralph Lauren reintroduces the most iconic pieces from Stadium, made to the exact specifications of the original models, alongside new interpretations of the collection’s sportswear-inspired, all-American look.
The original Polo Stadium Collection launched in 1992, a year marked by an iconic Olympic Games which sparked a substantial uptick in national American pride and a reinvigoration in the nation's interest in sports. In response to this avid market-demand for US-inspired sportswear, Ralph Lauren released the now iconic Stadium Collection in an American-flag colour palette. The collection was met with widespread acclaim and national revelry.
This capsule was the first time Polo designs incorporated the famous “P-wing” emblem and “Stadium 1992” racing bib motif on sportswear - both of which would later become essential pieces of any Polo fanatic’s personal wardrobe. Twenty-five years after its debut, the Stadium sensibility remains a pillar of the Polo Ralph Lauren aesthetic.
The 12-piece capsule collection will launch at END. on 21st September.
