Inscription. Ralph Lauren’s genius lies in identifying and interpreting classic American style. He has drawn on every important look in this country’s clothing history – from Native American styles and the cowboy look of the Old West, to the elegance of old Hollywood and the sophisticated sportswear of the Anglo-American country gentry. Having begun his career as designer of neckties, Ralph Lauren ultimately developed a total lifestyle approach, designing for both the body and the home.
Erected 2000.

Also see . . . Ralph Lauren - infomat. While working at A. Rivetz & Co., Lauren began designing wide ties, which spawned his first entrepreneurial career. With his tie designs and a $50,000 loan, Lauren founded the company Polo Fashions in 1968. Along with his older brother, he chose the name Polo because of the power, style and intrigue that the brand has always been associated with.
