The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Ralph Lauren founded the company in 1968 in New York. He started with neckties and built a clothing empire. Polo shirts became the signature item, marked with the horse logo. The brand created preppy American style for the mass market. It expanded into home furnishings, fragrances, and luxury goods. Stores exist across North America, Europe, and Asia. Today the company operates as Ralph Lauren Corporation, a public company. It ranks twelfth in Fashion & Footwear across 21,133 tracked brands. The Polo line remains the core business. Lauren's vision of aspirational lifestyle dressing never shifted. The horse logo is among the most recognizable in retail.
