About Polo Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren, founded in 1967 by Ralph Lauren, started with a men's tie and quickly became a world leader in fashion. Inspired by sports, Ralph created the men's Polo collection that became exclusive to Bloomingdale's in 1969. In 1971, the company launched women's shirts with the Polo logo and opened its first store on Rodeo Drive in 1972. T-shirts in 24 colors and cotton polo shirts became symbols of the brand. Ralph Lauren dressed the cast of "The Great Gatsby" in 1974, and Diane Keaton and Woody Allen wore his clothes in the movie "Annie Hall" in 1977. The first fragrances were released in 1978, and the company expanded internationally in 1981. In 1986, it opened its flagship store in New York, and in 1997 it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The online store opened in 2000 and relaunched as ralphlauren.com in 2007. In 2015, Stefan Larsson became CEO, while Ralph Lauren remained as executive chairman and chief creative officer.
