W.S Merwin X Ralph Lauren


A new friend of mine named L( no I don’t normally refer to friends as if we’re characters on Gossip Girl) introduced me to W.S Merwin, specifically his poem ‘Yesterday.’ I’m not an avid poetry reader however my immediate interpretation was:

albeit a theatrical one would be the process of a son going through life, having a career and seeing his father only on occasion. One of the first things i envisioned was a son vistiting his father as an older man who has an established career.”

“A progressive runway show came to mind in which the backdrop is the sons father living his life, and the son aging from youth, teen, and eventually adult—both in appearance and obviously, the way of dress. One designer came to mind…Ralph Lauren.”

In addition, Karl Lagerfeld’s short film, ‘Remember Me Now’ came to mind. Watch it below:
