They are interesting. It looks like he is combining different periods, textures, colors etc.

I don't find them "ugly" at all.

I like the top in the first picture and also the picture of the long dress. Not that I could wear them at my age, but on a young lady I think they would look nice.

I don't like the patchwork but I like the dark brown top and the 67 top.  I would wear the dark brown but not the 67 top.

Generally like Ralph Lauren's western, equestrian, traditional, preppy, native American styles, but as with all designers clothes what they design for the catwalk are not what most will buy.  But, I think these outfits are on the tame side compared to other designers. Some are outrageous.

 

Go to his website to see what he has to offer.  I don't like the fringy skirt with that top, but the quilted looking pieces are kind of western looking and I like the strapless gown and long skirt with the sweater and boots.

I think the clothes are ugly, like something out of a 60s rummage sale. I don’t understand the appeal.

Yeah, that first outfit is pretty ugly and dumb looking. But I like the rest of the outfits. That 2nd outfit reminds me of the baggy sweaters and patchwork maxi skirts we used to wear in the 70's. The next 5 outfits I could see people wearing very nicely.  The cowboy hat guy looks like he just stepped off the ranch but it still is a good outfit.
