Ralph Lauren
40 years ago Ralph Lauren got his start designing men’s neck ties. Today, this American designer is a mainstay in the fashion world. Ralph Lauren’s designs are the paradigm for the “classic, preppy” look of American fashion. Ralph’s been a fan of the finer things since a young age, saving up his after school job money to buy nice suits when he was just 12 years old.
Unlike most designers, Ralph did not attend fashion or design school, but the local city college to receive a degree in business. After working in various retail positions, he landed a job with a tie retailer, A. Rivetz & Co., where he started designing ties and began his fashion career
Today Ralph Lauren is an apparel and home accessory empire. His shoes embody the Ralph Lauren classic aesthetic. This season Ralph Lauren offers a selection of boots and booties in sumptuous leathers and suedes in a selection of rich browns and the always classy black. The “Selina Riding Boot” perfectly models Ralph’s attention to clean lines and understated elegance. For designs that are classic and as American as apple pie, look no further than Ralph Lauren.
