About the Item

From the Fall/Winter 2008 runway collection, this Ralph Lauren Purple Label cocktail dress is a standout piece that captures the designer’s timeless glamour with an edge of modernity. Crafted in luxurious black silk, the dress features a strapless neckline and a structured bodice densely adorned with hand-sewn beadwork and sequins for dramatic sparkle. The skirt is where artistry meets movement—an interplay of delicate tulle and feathered accents creates an ethereal, swan-like silhouette with just enough volume to make a statement. A hidden zip closure ensures a sleek fit, while the design maintains comfort and wearability. This piece reflects the opulent craftsmanship synonymous with Ralph Lauren’s most exclusive line, making it a rare and collectible garment ideal for formal occasions, cocktail parties, or editorial styling.
