23 Iconic Moments From Ralph Lauren

This week, American designer and marketing genius Ralph Lauren announced he is stepping down as CEO from his multi-billion dollar lifestyle empire. Lauren will continue to consult as the Chief Creative Officer, but the day to day operations will be taken over by Stefan Larsson, a 41 year-old executive who is credited for turning around Old Navy and H&M.

While Lauren’s new role doesn’t mean the end of the brand, it seems like the perfect time to look back at how the designer reinvented American fashion but also created the aspirational American lifestyle— from preppy cotton shirts emblazoned with his iconic polo player to safari-themed furniture to clubby English-style restaurants. Here are some of the most iconic looks from Ralph Lauren.
