What made Ralph Lauren famous?

1 Answer
What made Ralph Lauren famous?
What made Ralph Lauren famous is his eponymous clothing brand, which blends classic, preppy Americana East Coast style with the look of upper-crust English aristocracy. Lauren got his start as a tie salesman working out of a drawer at New York's Empire State Building and went on to grow one of the world's largest and most successful fashion empires from scratch. He debuted as a designer in 1967 with his Polo collection of handmade neckties. Today, his family of brands makes apparel, accessories, furniture, textiles and home décor. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Ralph Lauren pieces.
