Finally, a movie that inspired a great fashion trend… The Great Gatsby may not be on the silver screen until late in the year but the style of the era has already hit the runway. Ralph Lauren’s 2012 Collection kicks off with enough 1920′s glamour to put a Spring in anyone’s step.

“For Spring 2012, I was inspired by a romantic kind of nonchalance – an effortless glamour that is always timeless.” – Ralph Lauren

I, for one, hope this effortless glamour sticks around for a long time indeed.  Read more about The Collection and see behind the scenes photos here.
