Ralph Lauren embraces the American West — and fast fashion

"Today I am proud to share with you, for the first time ever, my new women's collection right off the runway and into your lives," the venerable designer wrote in a statement.

Lauren's runway show Wednesday evening had the added cachet of literally stopping traffic — the block of Madison Avenue fronting his store was closed off for the glamorous event, held in a temporary glass structure that resembled a greenhouse.

Model-of-the-moment Kendall Jenner wore a bomber-style leather jacket with a western belt and black pants.

Moore also marveled that she had walked into the store afterward and "walked right up to that black and white shirt — I was, 'Wow, look at that.'" Traditionally, items seen at Fashion Week shows take months to make it into stores.
