Ralph Lauren

I know it's not enjoying my success to do this, but when I see too many Polo shirts, I say to myself, 'That's the end of that.'

I always feel like I have to keep going. You can sit back and say, 'Maybe I can stop.' But then you're yesterday, and I love tomorrow.

You don't have to wear a label to be important.

It’s easier to follow fashion than it is to have personal style.

For me accessories create and define a woman's personal style. The bag she carries, the watch on her wrist, her jewelry, her sunglasses, her shoes all define a look that is her signature. For Spring 2014, my accessory collections are about a clean, graphic boldness creating a new dimension redefining modern classics.

I went to my boss, and I said, 'Look, I'd like to design these ties because I think they could be new.' He said, 'The world isn't ready for Ralph Lauren.' I never forgot that because... I thought that was a compliment.

Each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves

I believe one can live many lives through personal style. Every day is an occasion to reinvent yourself

Breast cancer is not just a woman's issue - it affects all of us: the brothers, husbands, fathers, children and friends.

Our kitchen is warm; it's who we are. And it has everything. Honestly, I could get rid of the rest of the house and just live in the kitchen.

People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.

I don't design clothes, I design dreams.
