Re: Name that style.
Going by the pictures in the original post, I would describe Lauren's style as Anglo-Italian. The waist suppression is English but the wide lapels are Italian. It's a look that you would tend to see in Milan and northern cities rather than Naples. It's certainly not American or Ivy.

Re: Name that style.
I believe the bloggers call it the "Blades" cut. Vox, who i believe has good knowledge of American style calls it this. Perhaps it is called this because of the extended and prominently padded shoulder blades? I don't really know. To my eye it really looks like a horrible pastiche of savile row military niped waist, savile row draped chest, american extended shoulders from 30s and 40s and 80s fashion look via Armani and Flusser.

Re: Name that style.
The extended shoulder is typical of the Italian/A&S drape cut. Lauren uses an Italian firm, St Andrews (may have changed to the Italian equivalent), to make the purple label suits. The lapels are too wide for a traditional Savile Row cut. Maurice Sedwell is the Savile Row tailor who, judging by his window displays, favours a similar style.

Re: Name that style.
Whereas this extended shoulder looks somewhat daft, nowadays when I look at the "natural shoulders" that fashion victims like Compton (or whatever his name) are wearing that make them look like inverted funnel necks, I feel like suggesting to them that they consider taking these pictures to their tailor. Perhaps then they'll look more human than homunculi.
