Description
Ralph Lauren is an American fashion designer known for his popular Polo line and other lines of clothing, accessories and home decor. Founded in 1967 and initially offering a line of men's ties, the company grew quickly in a short time and had its own boutique within department store Bloomingdale's by 1969, and its own stand-alone store in Beverly Hills by 1971. Polo's first womenswear line was launched that same year. The brand became a staple of the preppy style popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
