Ralph Lauren Documentary

Frum da boogie-down!

His daughter looks and sounds like she grew up on Long Island.

I tried to watch it. He's just not that interesting.

well cocked from what I saw in the documentary. i wonder how much he had to share it to make Ralph Lauren happen.

It's so good! They seem like nice normal people. Even Anna Wintour is smiling during her segments talking about him. LOVED the 80s men's fashion shows.

Well, you gotta hand it to Ralph. If he's had any work done, it's been very minor.

He doesn't look nearly as stretched and horrifying as Calvin.

I loathe the Ralph Lauren brand. Overpriced shit quality tat for straight boys and Essex girls. Fuck off! x

I shook his hand during Carolina Herrera's funeral.

She ain’t dead sweetie ^^^^

[R7] Glad someone isn’t afraid to speak against DL fave, Ralph Lauren. Just curious, how do you feel about Barbour?

There's a gorgeous Ralph Lauren number in the new Harper's Bazaar. Part of a Star Wars retro-futuristic editorial. I'm obsessed with it.

Very nice, R11, but I don't think it's look like much on a regular human being instead of a model.

The company treats its employees terribly. Thanksgiving Day is a mandatory work day for their factory workers.

I was shocked that I actually liked this, but I didn’t buy some if the excuses.

I just watched it today. Raplh was a hottie back in the day. I found him & his wife very grounded despite their massive wealth.

He really was the first designer to create a lifestyle brand.as opposed to just concentrating on collections. Those ad campaigns were just gorgeous.

I also loved that all 5 of their different homes were decorated in completely different styles.

His older son looks kind douchey/trumpy. I thought Ralph’s looks faded once he reached the 1970’s, it’s too bad he didn’t try weight training. The skinny and flabby arms that you really notice in the 80’s are gross.

He has spent a lifetime trying to be a handsome and macho Goy.

No Dear.

Andrew Lauren is cool and very nice.

She's so monotone when she speaks. Everything she says sounds the same.

And is there anything more trite than clothes?

DL strikes again. LOL.

I worked for PRL in the late 80s/early 90s, and it was a fantastic place to work. I met with Ralph many times, and he was always available and open. They also treated their employees incredibly well back then, but I know that has changed because it is no longer a private company, and business is not good Ralph, however, still cares for the employees and treats them as well as he can. One of the reasons the swedish guy was let go was because he did not treat the employees well. I can't say enough nice things about the time I worked there. I wish all the companies i worked for were as kind, and the employees as smart and hard-working.

You were at Walter Mercado's funeral.

Carolina is still alive and kicking

R22. LOL

That's one tasty dish!

Calvin Klein and Ralph went to school together. That was pretty cool seeing Calvin giving Ralph his due. And they even show a shot of Tommy Hilfiger in the crowd at one of his shows. It would have been nice to hear more form those two.

This was definitely and “in house” production or at least co-production because it’s basically a long ad for RL. There is scant criticism and and it rarely goes beneath the veneer.

The brand will probably join the trash heap of brands bought by hedge funders and reduced to a cheap version of itself while the owners sell off anything that’s not nailed down.
