Ralph Lauren to showcase see-now-buy-now fall collection at NYFW

Ralph Lauren has become the latest designer to get on board the see-now-buy-now trend, which allows consumers to purchase outfits hot off the runway instead of waiting six months for the clothes to hit store shelves.

On Wednesday night, the designer will be holding two separate runway shows at NYFW, featuring 45 new fall 2016 looks from their see-now-buy-now collection.

Invited guests include retailers, editors and top consumers. The shows, which will be attended by 200 guests each, will take place outdoors in front of the brand's flagship store on Madison Avenue which will be closed off to traffic.

On offer will be ready-to-wear accessories, handbags and footwear. The entire collection is manufactured in Italy.

Lauren joins Tom Ford, Tommy Hilfiger, Rebecca Minkoff and Alice + Olivia in showing a see-now-buy-now collection this season.

The company will also host an event for their top customers Thursday morning and livestream the show on Facebook.

Items will be available as the fashion show concludes on RalphLauren.com and in worldwide flagship stores including Beverly Hills, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Bal Harbour and Costa Mesa, Calif., in the United States; Prince’s Building in Hong Kong; Omotesando in Tokyo; New Bond Street in London; Tretyakovsky in Moscow; and Ralph Lauren’s Paris store at Montaigne. Top retail partners include Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Mytheresa.com and Mercury.
