Andreea Diaconu poses for the Ralph Lauren Cashmere Sweater Campaign

Fashion brand Ralph Lauren celebrates sustainable fashion with the launch of its first Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold Cashmere sweater. Designed for luxury and a modern style statement, the design is a timeless piece, which is crafted to be worn and enjoyed responsibly from generation to generation. With a classic silhouette and the highest quality craftsmanship, the sweater is made in Italy from an exclusive blend of cashmere, and is priced at $995. The campaign features models Andreea Diaconu and Simon Nessman, who are also married in real life. Set outdoors, the black and white photos were taken by photographer Alexandra Nataf with styling by Meryl Griffith. To complete the look, Tomo Jidai has worked on hair with makeup by Sally Branka.

We have always stood for values and things that last—things that are timeless and enduring, things to cherish as they age and that never fall out of style. - Ralph Lauren

For women, the Ralph Lauren Collection carries the Cradle to Cradle Certified Gold cashmere crewneck sweater, while the men’s Purple Label also features the design. The C2C is a science-based certification program that verifies materials and products are safe, circular, and responsibly created.
