More 'Proof' Timelessness of Quiet Luxury Old Money Aesthetic Clothing Fashion Style from Ralph Lauren in the1980's with Blue-Blood Family Model

EARLY 80's TIMELESS QUIET LUXURY OLD MONEY AESTHETIC CLOTHING 

MODEL FROM OLD MONEY EAST COAST FAMILY CIRCA 1984

                                CLOSE-UP OF THE PRINT FROM THE ABOVE AD PHOTO

The outfit featured  in this print ad from March 5, 1984 is by Ralph Lauren. Mary Jane Marcasiano was the designer for this shoot. She still works in this field today. (Name of model withheld.)

The prices quoted for the articles of clothing - $350 for the linen jacket, $278 for the mid-calf skirt, and $1,250 for the antique pearl-ruby-sapphire-and-gold pin - are quite a lot even for today's standards, but especially in the early 1980's.

 

However, high quality items fabricated with luxurious materials such as pure fine linen done by a well-known designer, such as Ralph Lauren, will always cost a bit more.   

Just like the outfit shown in Part 1, it is truly timeless and could just as easily be worn today. The soft off-white color and elegant classic cut give it a subtle, 'quiet luxury' appeal.  

 

The clothing and accessory brands mentioned in this ad are Ralph Lauren, listed as being 'available' at Bendel's and Bonwit's (both of which are now no longer in business as of 2019 for Bendel's Department Store and 1990 for Bonwit Teller). 

Also mentioned are Clarence House Fabrics, and James Robinson jewelry.
