About Ralph by Ralph Lauren

The world is open to us, and every new day is an opportunity to reinvent ourselves.

From a childhood in a socially deprived area to being one of the most successful fashion designers on the planet: Ralph Lauren is living the much-vaunted American Dream - only without the plate-washing. Born Ralph Lifshitz, the boy from the Bronx in New York preferred to earn his pocket money by selling fancy ties to his classmates (and then investing the money in even fancier suits for himself). Today, his fashion empire includes numerous brands for men and women, including Ralph Lauren and Polo Ralph Lauren, plus labels for jewellery, fragrances and home furnishings. Among his most popular products are the Ralph prescription glasses and sunglasses. For his 50th anniversary in 2018, Ralph Lauren transformed his hometown's Central Park into a spectacular runway complete with celebrity crowd.

History of Ralph by Ralph Lauren

At first, the future didn't look particularly bright for young Ralph. He took up business studies, only to be expelled again after two years because of poor performance. After his military service, he therefore had to work as a simple salesman. Lauren, however, had a vision. He was able to persuade his boss at the Manufacture Beau Brummell to let him design his own line of ties. Since this was so successful, Ralph Lauren ventured out on his own - the beginning of the Ralph Lauren brand. At first, Lauren sold his ties with a hawker's tray in the Empire State Building, but he was soon able to present a men's line as well. The first Polo Ralph Lauren shop at Bloomingdales followed as early as 1970. In the same year, his men's line was also awarded the renowned Coty Award fashion prize, giving him a fast start in business that every businessman could only wish for.

Equestrian Inspiration

Ralph Lauren developed his unmistakable preppy chic mainly because of one event: he had attended a polo match and was fascinated by the smell of leather, the powerful horses and the chic ladies with their big hats. This very glamorous but at the same time gritty world was the epitome of style for him. The galloping polo player became his trademark and is now one of the logos known all over the world. A not insignificant part of this fame was the polo shirt designed by Ralph Lauren in 1972 with the polo player embroidered on the breast pocket - it became an iconic garment in no time at all, available in all colours of the rainbow, and is likely to be found in almost every man's wardrobe today.

Knight of Style

His breakthrough as a world-class designer came with the elegant clothes he tailored for Robert Redford and Mia Farrow in the classic film "The Great Gatsby" 1974. The fact that Ralph Lauren's profession is also his passion is also shown by the fact that, at the age of more than 80, he is still the head designer of the Ralph Lauren Corporation - although he now leaves the daily business to changing CEOs. For his outstanding services to fashion, Ralph Lauren was knighted by Prince Charles in 2019 - the first US designer to receive this British honour.

Ralph Eyewear

Ralph Eyewear also convinces with preppy chic and classic elegance. Under the individual labels Ralph, Polo Ralph Lauren and Ralph Lauren you will find high-quality and characterful eyewear frames that are much more than simple vision aids - they are fashion accessories. Of course, this also applies to Ralph Lauren sunglasses and Polo Ralph Lauren sunglasses. Among the most popular models by Ralph are acetate frames in aviator or rectangular shape - preferably in neutral tones like black, brown or dark havana like the RA7018. A contrasting inner frame in light colours such as rosé or white lends lightness to the frames and also conceals thicker lenses. The more daring go for cat-eye frames like the RA7103 in an eye-catching brown and pink turtle pattern or the currently extremely popular styles in nude and transparent shades, e.g. the RA7039. But of course the collection also includes metal frames in shimmering gold (RA6046) or silver. Those who prefer the intelligent look of classic-style glasses should take a look at the parallel brand Polo Ralph Lauren glasses, where the frame PH2083 is currently causing a sensation - its classic panto design in tortoiseshell gives every outfit a distinguished, preppy touch.
