Polo Ralph Lauren and Element are pleased to introduce an assortment of hard goods and complementary apparel styles inspired by the quilted patchworks and scenic motifs of Ralph Lauren’s iconic Fall 1982 Collection.
Rich with earth tones and utilitarian design details, the collection infuses iconic Ralph Lauren silhouettes with Element’s unique position at the intersection of skateboarding and sustainability—evoking beauty, stillness, nostalgia, and an authentic connection to land and nature.
In early June, 13 skaters from around the globe—hand-selected by their local skate shops—convened for a weeklong skate camp hosted by Polo Ralph Lauren and Element under the shadow of Mt. Hood, an hour outside of Portland, Oregon.
