I don’t wear any of his brands; my personality for the moment doesn’t fit into his collections.

5. How has Ralph Lauren built on his original brand to create an empire and an almost unparalleled career in fashion? Can you think of someone else who compares to him?

Ralph can be considered as a classic his been around for many years and I believe his style will be here for more generations to come. He is unique at what he does. But of course there are many designers from back than that has build their careers by being loyal to themselves and build a business of what they believe in. They have a story and they make come true, each designer is different but he is not the only one.
