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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Nothing has been confirmed but Navy Exchange Service Command\u00c2\u00a0spokeswoman, Kathleen Martin, commented on the rumors saying,<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Navy has not hired Ralph Lauren to redesign female sailors\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s uniform sizing and help support current initiatives.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d {The Gloss<\/a>}<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
