Look at the RTW Spring 2009 looks from Ralph Lauren, one can't help but notice the hints of different cultures.  Safari simply means travel in Swahili and it seems that the American designer did travel when finding inspiration for his designs, if not physically, mentally.  The gold and silver shimmer found throughout the line, allow us to erase the violent preconceptions of Safaris and help us to view the looks in a more glamour-meets-rugged sort of way.
