Will Ralph Lauren’s Next Models be Military Women?

When we got wind that there may be chatter between the United States Navy and American fashion designer Ralph Lauren on the force’s new service uniforms we got pretty excited.

Aside from Michele Obama’s chic designer style, Washington, DC and New York aren’t exactly known for style exchanges. French train workers have been outfitted by Christian Lacroix, and airlines have frequently turned to designers to punch up the style for their flight crews, but we’re pretty sure designer styled military uniforms are a first.

Nothing has been confirmed but Navy Exchange Service Command spokeswoman, Kathleen Martin, commented on the rumors saying,

“The Navy has not hired Ralph Lauren to redesign female sailors’ uniforms, but has opened up an initial dialogue with Ralph Lauren, one of our top-tier manufacturing resources, who has offered to provide advice regarding women’s uniform sizing and help support current initiatives.” {The Gloss}

We think it’s a great idea, and who better then an all-American, functional and classic designer like Ralph Lauren to give a little input on what our Navy women wear.
