Fashion label Ralph Lauren delves into the archival past of the label's Polo sportswear from the 90s and creates the new Polo Hi Tech collection for the Fall 2018 season. The main inspiration of the new range is drawn from the most technical Polo Sport designs from the 90s. Hi-Tech was initially a patch that is seen on the Polo Sport items ranging from the years 1992 to 1994 to highlight the label's special technical craft.
For the colder seasons approaching, old-school Ralph Lauren silhouettes are reworked into something fresh with a plethora of captivating colors and bright graphics. The Polo Hi Tech collection features performance-focused popovers, cargo pants, sweaters, and rugby shirts along with a series of surplus-influenced items.
