Ralph Lauren When going through the list of designers to choose from for this project, Ralph Lauren’s name really stuck out to me. Mostly because he was mentioned quite a bit in my favorite show “FRIENDS!” After watching that show I have always wanted to know more about him and now I’m really glad I do. His life has been so interesting to learn about that I think instead of just being mentioned in a show, there should be a show made about him! Ralph Lauren was born on October 14, 1939 in the Bronx, New York City. His family included his parents (Frank and Frieda Lifshitz) and his three siblings (Jerry, Lenny, and George). A fact that I think is pretty neat is that his parents were Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants that left Belarus. His father …show more content…
He was hired as designer by Beau Brummell Ties and his colorful ties that he designed were instantly a hit. The next year he had his very own company and clothing line for men, named “Polo.” His designs were classy with a mix of English and American styles. Ralph’s success kept growing and eventually he had a full menswear line that earned him the Coty Award in 1970. This led to him opening a women’s line as well. When 1972 rolled around Ralph released a piece that would become the piece he was known for. He designed a short-sleeve cotton shirt in twenty-four different colors. This was huge for him! To this day you still see people everywhere flaunting the easily recognizable polo player …show more content…
Some people complained his looks weren't innovative. I personally believe these people had no clue what they were talking about. Nonetheless, he never let this get to him. His designs eventually hit the TV screen in movies such as, The Great Gatsby and Annie Hall. It was around this time that Ralph said something truly inspirational to all people interested in fashion. He said, “I’m interested in longevity, timelessness, style—not fashion.” His work really expressed what he said as he focused on classic American clothing. Ralph’s business eventually grew to have things such as, children’s clothing, footwear, colognes, home products, and others. He now has hundreds of international stores and even factories that make his merchandise. Ralph has even designed the uniforms for the Olympics for Team USA. I think that is really cool. Like everybody, Ralph has had many hardships. In the mid-1980’s Ralph discovered he had a brain tumor and had to have surgery. Ever since then he has funded many cancer research places to look for a cure. His amazing contributions led to the creation of the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Prevention and Care at North General Hospital in Harlem, New York. This man just keeps getting better and
Ralph had amazing hair since the beginning of the book: "He would like to have a pair of scissors and cut this hair—he flung the mass back—cut this filthy hair right back to half an inch
Ralph much like Franklin Roosevelt, was elected leader through the majority of the vote. The people liked him and were happy for him to lead them. Even though he was in charge he offered Jack something to try and make him feel better.Roosevelt was also all about the people and making everyone happy by helping the people get out of the depression and winning a World War.. Ralph used the conch that he had found for a symbol of power and authority, as Roosevelt had used his presidency for authority and maintaining order. That is why Ralph reflects the views and morals of Roosevelt.
The costuming of this character was brilliant! When he was wearing the matching pants and jacket tracksuit in his confrontation with Jackie and then with Ralph, we could believe that he was the type of guy to wear that outfit. His outfits further characterized his
Ralph made sure that everyone felt safe. In order for the children to feel safe, he made shelters for everyone to stay in. The shelter resembled a sort of home for the younger children. Even if there was no one there to help him do something he managed to do it himself. Ralph was not one to keep secrets. He always called and assembly if he wanted to discuss something with everyone.

First of all, the most important trait that makes Ralph the best leader is his rational mind. I personally think that a leader should be a respectable and organized person. Ralph demonstrates his leading ability very well by the way he treats

All throughout the story Ralph shows us heroic qualities like: blowing the conch and having all the boys run to him. It shows that the boys look up to him as their hero to get them off the island. Even at at the end when all the boys chased him down trying to kill them. He still lead them all right to the naval officer. Showing us that he is the true hero of the story. At least Ralph stayed moral that meant he could live with himself without the weight of a person's death on his
“I was into Prada and Dolce and Gabbana at the time and that is why I started to wear tight jeans, because I wanted to be a model. I started freelancing work for Calvin Klein so I was slim and it just stuck.” Rocky has set trends with all kinds of styles, dealing with accessories, shirts, bandannas, hats etc. All of these trends have s\been a success to him either from the satisfaction of the profit or the satisfaction of making the world understand how much he doesn't have to say to make an appearance up on stage
Through Ralph it shows that he is the most powerful boy on the island, despite his size. Ralph doesn't want to be in control of all the people, he just wants to find a way of the island. He is determined to create rules and follow them, and prioritizes the groups needs above his own selfish desires. For example, he builds the huts even though it isn't fun, compared to the boys who go off to play whenever instead of doing important tasks that aren't fun. Ralph symbolizes law, government and a civil society.
Ralph had been born to two wonderful parents of the names Leo Baer and Lotte Kirschbaum on the day of March 8th 1922. He was originally born in Rodalben, Germany and spent all the way up to his teenage years there. Life wasn’t very easy for him in his hometown, he was expelled from his first school because of his ancestry and his beliefs. Baer had later been forced to go to an all Jewish school until he finally moved to New York during his teenage years to escape the persecution previously mentioned. He became a naturalized United States citizen.

"The first image-maker", according to New York magazine, Lauren is one of the fashion industry's biggest hitters. But Lauren studied business science and served his time in the army before breaking into fashion. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, by his parents who had emigrated from Belarus. He grew up in a working class neighborhood with his three brothers, mother and father (a house painter).

Klein's design philosophy is rooted in minimalism. This is what he is known for. He typically uses neutral colors or earth tones and designs separates that work in many different ensembles, from day to night and season to season. At the same time his advertising for jeans and fragrances was being criticized, Calvin Klein clothing was receiving critical acclaim for its clean, modern lines. (Gaines)
