"These photos represent not only a fashion still but a pastiche of what we would like our pasts to be" according to Jack Zubritsky. Ralph Lauren reinvented fashion based on his vision of the past. To sum up his world in a word, it is Romance. These photos represent not only a fashion still but a pastiche of what we would like our pasts to be.Working class or privileged, it shows a world where everyone can be proud. I rejected the naysayers who chafe at this working class guy from Long Island reminding us of Wasp and Cowboy Chic.

More So About the Man as Opposed to the Style or Fashion of the Brand." according to B Woon. Simply put this book is for the die hard Ralph Lauren fan. Emphasis on the word "die hard".What this book is not: A catalog of everything Ralph has designed.nor is it a catalog of select pieces.nor is it a catalog on the best pieces.nor is it a large catalog of the ads.

It's a coffee table book. And sure, there are pictures of past ads and past collections but that plays a secondary role in the book.If you are a
