It’s Tamara Ralph’s 16th couture season, but her second solo show after many years as part of Ralph & Russo. Ralph broke out on her last couture season with a debut solo collection to much acclaim.

Her latest collection, called All About Time,  marks a successful progression in her journey with her namesake brand, and explored the concept of time, life’s most precious yet overlooked commodity. It’s not a coincidence; she’s collaborated with Audemars Piguet to create a limited-edition version of the Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon.But beyond a watch partnership, Ralph’s craftsmanship and style have been refined over generations, giving her designs a timeless quality that lasts for years and seasons.

Like most designers this spring, Ralph also embraced pastel hues, but she wasn’t afraid to inject bold hues too: canary yellow, scarlet red, and bubblegum pink on a feather-embellished gown. Two other standout looks were crafted with marabou feathers, one in light blue and the other in baby pink. 

Ralph envisioned the future as a blend of boldness and vitality. And her collection certainly reflected this dynamism. On occasion, that meant trompe l’œil tweed, jewel-like details all topped with daring millinery and resilient accessories. On others, it was polka dot prints and the type of embellished princess ball gowns that make women dream. 

“Time is to be cherished, as we desire more yet can never have enough. My collection aims to endure through time while reminding us of its invaluable essence,” Tamara Ralph reflected.
