My dad is my best friend, my father, and my boss. When I do something that is exciting and he likes it, it feels three times as good as you can imagine.

I learnt to drive at around eleven years old. In an old jeep on a field in Colorado. There were lots of ditches. I could barely see over the steering wheel.
Ralph Lauren has always had a story. At first, my father told the story just through his designs. Now we're constantly looking for new ways to tell that story through innovation and technology.
The team aspect is what differentiates the Ryder Cup from other premier golf events.
Polo has always had an old-fashioned, aristocratic English feel.
Ralph Lauren is about creating stories, creating concepts that consumers want to live in. We are about creating dreams.
Polo really is a European sport. It's not really that popular in America. I'm not an expert on the sport, but it's fun to watch.
Sportswear and activewear have been evolving over the years, and what makes it interesting is how you reflect the culture in which we're living in - whether it's creating clothing for a certain sport or creating new materials that we think athletes or people who are physical want to wear.
As a kid, I would look at my dad and ask him why he was wearing jeans with his tux. Today I love to do it. It's just fun to be a little more unique.
My father grew up with no money. He was raised in one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the U.S. My mother helped him sew labels into his ties. My life has been very comfortable, sure, but they instilled into us the importance of the work ethic.
When you enter a Ralph Lauren store, it's almost cinematic, as though you're walking through someone's home.
Anytime Tom Watson is on your team, you've won. His passion, professionalism, attention to detail, and leadership are unparalleled.
Polo is about the aspirational lifestyle of the sporty person, on and off the field.
My parents are famously not part of the gestalt of the fashion industry.
Hugh Grant does a great job with his style. Somehow understated yet timeless and seems to get it. He does it on and off camera.
My father writes through clothes.
My job is to help my father tell stories.
Every day, we're learning about what's happened with global warming and what's happening all around the world, and our employees and our customers are really feeling that it's time to step up and make a difference.
There's so much out in the world that is not good for the environment.
Right now, we're trying to make sure that what we produce is as good for the environment as possible or, at least, helps clean up another problem.
I want people in their 20s to think of 'Swing' the way a generation in the 1960s thought of 'Esquire' - as the voice of young thinkers.
We are ambassadors of American style, but we're in awe of British style.
When I look at a Ralph Lauren store, it is not a store: it's an experience.
OM was really sort of at the cutting edge. They have the best quality, the highest performance, the longest list of technology measurements you can gather - so we felt like they were the right partner for us.
We're a close family, and we've always believed in working hard to achieve our dreams.
I didn't want to work with my father. I wanted to see if I could develop my own career.
Polo is a quintessentially English sport. It stands for quality and sophistication and is recognised all over the world as such.
Wearable technology is a big trend, and a lot of people have been trying to figure out how to take it from band or bracelet to clothing. We thought it'd be cool to make a shirt that can monitor your body measurements.
We've always been inspired by England; my father's first store was here.
Tennis does need variety, excitement, and personality.
When Ralph Lauren creates a collection of clothes, he's not really worried about a single tie or a single shirt or a single belt... he's creating a movie, and the characters that he casts in his advertisements or the people that work in the stores are the actors in his life.
