Ralph Lauren started everything while working in a factory in New York.  It was there that he used this factory and a loan of $50,000 to start his wide tie creations with his brother.  He put his tie line under the name Polo Fashions.  Ralph then put his earnings back into the company and started a larger empire of designs. 

Ever since the start of Ralphs company he has become a very powerful company.  He desings anything that you can think of, from sports wear to fancy suits.  After he got started from the wide tie idea, the other design that did it all for him was the polo shirt that became widely known by all.  After this he then expanded in to other division such as womnes wear, footwear and even sports.  There was a time when Ralphs company had a downfall because of what the population wanted to dress like.  Other designers such as Armani and Dolce & Gabbana were getting more attention than he was.  So Ralph then decided that he would make his Blue Labe, which was his classic elegant wear.  This then became a hit of its own among the business suit population and brought the attention back to polo fashions.

Ralphs company is now worth an estimated $1 billion.  Hes is family man and his wife and kid are both very involved in the day to day things that go on in the company.  Ralph still remains the creative designer for this brand today which was expanded into many different divisions.

I checked out the link. Nice touch by the way! More specifically, I checked out one of the fashion show links on the page. I have to say, if I had the money I would own a few of the dress! He certainly has talent!
