With all due respect to the talents of Ralph Lauren, I think our reactions indicate that there is a fashion change going on and RL missed it. I liked the comparison to the sweater pattern bought at AQS in 1991.....these sweaters look out of date and way too busy....so, as a positive spin on this, I would say that we are reflecting a simpler, cleaner, less startling set of aesthetics and we can thank the modern quilt movement for it. Even our traditional patterns are "cleaning up" and calming down. We are now far ahead of the designers and can give ourselves a little pat on the back.
