"The first image-maker", according to New York
magazine, Lauren is one of the fashion industry's biggest hitters. But
Lauren studied business science and served his time in the army before
breaking into fashion.
Lauren's empire was founded in 1967,
after he opened his first ever tie shop, with no formal design
training. Next came menswear and, in 1971, Lauren introduced his
women's label. The chic, preppy look of his designer collections is now
complemented by the whole gamut of sportswear, casualwear and home
furnishings. |
