The Hamptons, New York, buzzed with excitement as the fashion world gathered for the unveiling of Ralph Lauren’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Under the gaze of notable figures like Dr. Jill Biden, Jude Law, and Naomi Watts, models showcased the American elegance that is synonymous with the brand. Ralph Lauren, renowned for his design of the iconic American athlete uniforms for the Paris 2024 Olympics, presented a collection steeped in red, white, and blue, showcasing a tank top, a striped shirt, and a tie.
However, the show wasn’t just about the clothes; it was also about family. 1990s supermodel Christy Turlington, a fashion icon, made a striking appearance on the runway, accompanied by her nephew James and her eldest daughter Grace Burns. The resemblance to the supermodel was undeniable, highlighting the strong genetic link to fashion within the family.
James, a sports enthusiast turned model, began his career in 2019, quickly capturing the attention of designers. He has graced runways and magazine pages, showcasing his unique style. At the Ralph Lauren show, he donned a white suit paired with an oversized brown bag.
Grace Burns, on the other hand, made her runway debut in 2023 at the young age of 19. She first appeared in the Alberta Ferretti Spring/Summer 2024 collection, wearing a dress adorned with 1990s floral prints. She further showcased her talent in a sophisticated white gown by Victoria Beckham at the LuisaViaRoma x British Vogue show. Grace is undoubtedly following in her mother’s footsteps, establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world.
The Ralph Lauren show not only showcased stunning designs but also exemplified the enduring legacy of fashion within the Turlington family. With both Grace and James making their mark in the industry, it seems that fashion is truly a family affair.
