'(2 Apr 1998) T/I: 11:18:59 9814 Ralph Lauren / New York / April 1 / ENT 4 It\'s pure and simple for Ralph Lauren American designer Ralph Lauren hailed the return of flatties and long skirts in his Fall/Winter collection for 1998. The designer pioneered the idea of marketing a\'lifestyle\' as a way of selling clothes. This year, he says, it\'s the turn of the \'Bohemian Intellectual\'. At the heart of the new look is the season\'s new skirt. Cut long, it stays neat to the body in the narrowness of a trouser skirt - or lets go into gently flaring fullness. Up top is the ultimate sportswear element - the sweater. In an array of sumptuous cashmeres - it comes as a turtleneck, roll neck or cardigan - suitable for day or night. High heels are replaced by flatties - the only shoe to wear with floorlength skirts. Tweeds are a key fabric along with cashmere. Eveningwear is dramatic - but simple. Sequin evening dresses fit for Oscar night swooped down the catwalk, perfectly encapsulating Lauren\'s approach for the collection: \'Purity and Simplicity\'.
