Non-Fiction Photography | Non-Fiction Memoir
Ralph Lauren isn't easy to define. Unlike many designers, he
is not known for a single signature look, but rather for his
sweeping dreams of American living. Over the course of his
career, the images of luxury, adventure, and beauty that he
created have come to define American style. In this visually
stunning book, Lauren speaks candidly for the first time
ever about himself and his art. In part one, we get to know
the designer through never-before-seen pictures of him in
private life and with his family, living the lives he
designs for. In his own words, we hear about his life, work,
and inspiration. In the second part, Lauren displays and
writes about his most important, most iconic, and most
beloved work, hand-picked from hundreds of runway shows,
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. Featuring an introduction by
Audrey Hepburn (from her 1992 presentation speech at the
CFDA awards), this is truly a unique fashion monograph, a
personal expression of the artist, and a rare peek into the
mind of one of America's most accomplished fashion designers
of all times.
