Tiffany Raiford
Ralph Lauren is one of the most iconic designers of all time. He has been in the fashion industry since 1964, just after he left the US Army. He began his fashion career working for Brooks Brothers, though he left the company when he was in his mid-20s to begin designing his own ties. He ran a successful tie business in which he created ties that were stylish and classic, and they were different than other ties in the industry. He created them, and he sold them from a suitcase in front of the Empire State Building for many years.
It didn’t take long before he was selling his ties to some of the biggest department stores in the city, or before he was able to open up his own store and sell his ties. He was loaned money to start his fashion empire, opening stores in several major cities including New York and Beverly Hills. It was just after he received permission to use the polo shirt design from Brooks Brothers and added his signature polo playing horse to the shirts that his business took off and grew into the multi-billion dollar company it is today.
