About Ralph Lauren

The name of a fashion designer and business owner Ralph Lauren has become a legend. Today, his corporation has more than eight hundred trademarks, including twenty jewellery brands registered by PRL USA Holdings, Inc at different times. Among them, in particular, were Chaps and Ralph Lauren, the oldest trademarks.

The son of Jewish immigrants from the Soviet Union, Ralph Lifshitz was born on October 14, 1939, in Bronx, USA. In 1955, he changes his surname to a more Americanised one – Lauren.

Lauren began his career as a tie designer in 1964, taking a job in a clothing store, and soon started his own business.

Inspired by old Hollywood movies and the leading actors on the silver screen, Ralph Lauren started his career making stylish, wide men’s ties. All were handmade with luxurious fabrics. The line, which started in 1967 was called Polo. Within a year, the designer crafted a complete men’s clothing line. Stand-out pieces included men’s shirts using fabrics that were far from traditional. The following year, he was given space at Bloomingdales for his own “shop” space.

In 1970, Ralph Lauren won the Coty Award for men’s fashion. This led him to design a suiting collection for women based on the menswear line. By 1971, he opened his first stand-alone storefront in Beverley Hills. Other locations in the United States quickly followed. In 1973, he introduced his perfume, sportswear, and accessories lines, including costume jewellery.  Numerous awards have made the brand one of the most prestigious in the world. Besides, the Designers Council of America has awarded Ralph Lauren the title of Fashion Legends.
