Blue & White


The Villa America collection from Ralph Lauren Home, introduced a few years ago, was inspired by Sara and Gerald Murphy. Villa America was the name of the Murphy's home in southern France in the 1920s, and also a gathering place for their guests, who included Pablo Picasso, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and many more. The Murphys were the consumate guests and art lovers--and their home reflected this passion.
