At the New York Market — The Ralph Lauren collection is debuting four lifestyle suites, pulling forward many sheeting components from previous lines.

Marseilles, a French-inspired beach group, mixes a bright red paisley, a dishtowel stripe and a batik-on-denim pattern in its bedding ensemble. Coldwater Canyon is an architecturally driven collection layering a linen duvet with a large-scale zebra print over a suede bed blanket. Chartwell, an English cottage look, presented a floral-faced quilt with mattress-ticking reverse, paisley throw pillows and heathered cashmere blankets in pink and blue.

Job's Lane, a nod to Hampton's living, employed the energetic pop of bright colors mixed with white and a patchwork duvet with mini windowpane sheeting. Accent pieces include cashmere cable throws and terry square pillows.
