Ralph Lauren The Man
“Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over very quickly. Style is forever.”
My Inspirations
A Vision of Style
“I’ve always loved the freedom of taking a pattern or fabric and using it in an untraditional way.”
The Heroines of the Collections
“In my mind, I create a world based around the girl. When I design a collection, I have that heroine in mind. She is the star of my movie and expresses what I have to say. I study her character, and I create for her and through her.”
My Dream of America
“I discovered this heritage of a timeless America, uncontrived, free-form and free-spirited, natural and from the earth, and it touched me and became the living part of all that I design.”

Timeless Luxury
“For me, luxury is a sensibility, an approach to life. It’s not about the season’s newest anything. It’s about personal style and creating an environment of comfort and ease. Luxury is quality and timeless elegance.”
The
Perfect
Cut
“I prefer a timeless style and a certain elegance. The fitted shape, the cut, how you feel in it—that’s what I mean by good quality and taste.”
