Ralph Lauren's 'Friends' Collection
Celebrates Rachel Green
In the immortal words of Janice Hosenstein:
Oh. My. God.

Go on a break from what you’re doing and check this out: 15 years after Jennifer Aniston’s character Rachel Green got fired (and re-hired) from her job at Ralph Lauren on “Friends,” the iconic brand has debuted a curated collection of items celebrating its role on the show.
The curated wear-to-work collection of suiting,
turtlenecks, jackets and more consists of pieces from both Polo and
Ralph Lauren and, according a release from the brand, “reflects Ralph
Lauren’s timeless styles and archetypes that have remained a go-to for
the modern working woman.”
Of the many, many, many ways brands have capitalized on the beloved show’s 25th anniversary, this might very well be our favorite.
After
all, Green’s career in fashion played a role of its own over the course
of the sitcom’s tenure. Viewers followed her style-centric rise to
financial independence through a stint at “Fortunata Fashions” before
becoming an assistant buyer at Bloomingdale’s and ultimately moving on
to Ralph Lauren, where she worked over several seasons despite kissing
her boss during her interview, dating her assistant Tag and fabricating an affair with Ralph himself (Lauren made a cameo for that episode).
As if this partnership could BE any more on-brand, Ralph Lauren is
teaming up with Green’s other former employer, Bloomingdale’s, on an
installation of sets from the show, like Central Perk and Green’s
office. The “content creation hub,” as a press release calls it, debuted
at Bloomie’s NYC flagship location Wednesday and will stay until Sept.
27, before traveling to different stores around the country.
Some items in the collection will set you back the price of a month’s rent (like, real New York City rent, not “Friends” New York City rent), but there are some moderately priced pieces, too. Check them out on the Ralph Lauren website.
