Resumen

Though his name is familiar to almost anyone who owns a pair of jeans, Ralph Lauren isn't easy to define. Unlike many designers, he is not known for a single signature look, but rather for his sweeping dreams of American living: the polo-shirted athletes charging down the fields, the beaches of Montauk, the cowboy in the wilderness. Over the course of his career, the images of luxury, adventure, and beauty that he created have come to define American style, and elevate it far beyond the reaches of fashion.

In this visually stunning work, Lauren himself speaks candidly about his life and his art, and invites readers to see his sources of inspiration, his feelings, his unique design sensibility, and what he loves. Part one takes the reader into Lauren's world, where the designer invites us into his home(s) to meet his family, and get to know him. This part features never-before-seen pictures of the designer in his private life (at home, with family, as a child and young man), and stories told by Lauren, such as his childhood dreams of becoming a baseball player, memories of his parents, learning tie-making, and shopping with his wife, Ricky, before he was a designer. In the second part, Lauren displays his most important, most iconic, and favorite work, hand-picked from hundreds of runway shows, collections, and advertising campaigns. This section features images from his breakthrough multipage ad campaigns called "movies", and other images from such photographers as: Bruce Weber, Deborah Turbeville, Patrick Demarchelier, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Michael Thompson, Kurt Marcus, Sheila Metzner, Francois Halard, and Oberto Gili. The book also contains a detailed chronology of Lauren's career and achievements, including line launches, landmark collections, philanthropic achievements, and awards.

This is truly a unique fashion monograph, a personal expression of the artist, and a rare peek into the mind of one of America's most accomplished fashion designers of all time.
