Ralph Lauren Interview 1993

I saw this a while ago, and lost track of which blog I found it on. Sorry.

It's an hour long interview with Ralph. He talks about a lot of things which are quite interesting. It was nice to hear the discussion around whether Ralph is a designer because it is reasonably valid that he isn't creative at developing new garment structures or construction. He borrows ideas, and isn't doing something original. Ralph takes these comments in his stride. His approach of making clothing is that he is inspired by styles and moods. And that he wanted to make clothes that he wanted to wear (or that he would like his girlfriend to wear) ...but you couldn't find these clothes in stores.

He doesn't like fashion, but believes in timeless-ness.
