Written by Ralph Lauren, Foreword by Audrey Hepburn
The landmark collection on the life and work of Ralph Lauren - the brand's vision as told and presented by Lauren herself - in a smaller, more portable edition, with additional photographs updated to the present.
In this visually stunning book, Lauren speaks candidly about himself and his art. In part one, we get to know the designer through never-before-seen photos of him in his private life and with his family, while living the lives he designs for. In part two, Lauren shows and writes about his most iconic and beloved work, handmade from hundreds of collections and his signature cinematic advertising campaigns. Lauren's aesthetic influence and unique design sensibility are captured here by fashion's finest photographers, including Bruce Weber, Deborah Turbeville and Patrick Demarchelier.
Now expanded with new photography, this unique fashion monograph is a personal expression of the artist and a rare glimpse into the mind of one of America's most talented fashion designers.
