Ralph Lauren is paying tribute to its most famous (fictional) employee with a new wear-to-work collection: Rachel Green from Friends.
Super-fans of the hit NBC sitcom will recall that Rachel—played by Jennifer Aniston—worked at Ralph Lauren as an executive for most of the show's 10-season run. During that time, Rachel had an ill-advised relationship with her assistant Tag, helped Joey look good for his auditions with donut stain-free Ralph Lauren swag, and was even implicated in an affair with the actual Ralph Lauren.
Despite her office affairs and essentially stealing from her workplace, it looks like Ralph Lauren thinks Rachel was a pretty good employee, because the fashion brand has released a limited edition collection to mark the 25th anniversary of Friends on September 22.
The curated collection features cool-yet-kitsch 1990s workwear combinations, so you can look as stylish as Rachel, or geek-chic as Chandler (think chunky sweaters and rolled-up sleeves.)
"Traditional wool suiting and turtlenecks are paired with new shapes and silhouettes in playful, yet sophisticated fabrications and colorways—trousers in black leather; skirts in suede, leather, and plaid with both midi and mini hem lengths; and jackets in velvet, faux leopard fur and purple shearling," a Ralph Lauren press release said. "The collection calls on tradition through pinstripe suiting, crested blazers, and equestrian-inspired accessories, while enhancing these classic pieces with navy and orange color-blocking and pops of leopard to offer a fresh fall spirit."
And to mark the release of the collection, Ralph Lauren is teaming up with another of Rachel's employers, Bloomingdale's, to recreate some of Friends' most famous sets, including Central Perk.

How to buy the Friends-inspired Ralph Lauren Rachel Green collection
The new Friends-inspired Ralph Lauren collection went on sale globally Wednesday.
The collection is available in select Ralph Lauren stores around the world. Find your local store here.
In the U.S., you can also head down to your local Bloomingdale's to shop the collection and partake in more Friends-themed fun, as replicas of famous Friends sets will be traveling the country, beginning with the Bloomingdale's 59th flagship store in New York.
According to Ralph Lauren, on September 21 and 22, there will be a replica of the Central Perk set "complete with the famous orange couch." You can take selfies with your pals, just like Ross, Rachel and company, and even indulge in a complimentary coffee. The Central Perk replica is located in the Studio 59 space.
On the third floor of the 59th flagship store, between Wednesday and September 27, fans of Friends can also visit a replica of Rachel's Ralph Lauren office and a different part of the Central Perk store.
Not in New York? No problem. The replica set pieces will travel every two weeks to other Bloomingdale's locations including White Plains, New York; Bergen County, New Jersey; Aventura, Florida; and the new Norwalk, Connecticut, store.
You can also buy the pieces in the collection online, with prices ranging from $39.50 for a classic men's T-shirt all the way to $2,998 for a very Rachel-looking leopard print coat.
