Ralph Lauren Corporation is an American apparel and lifestyle company headquartered in New York City, built around the designer fashion brands of its founder. It was founded in 1967 by designer Ralph Lauren, who began by designing a line of neckties before expanding into full menswear and, in 1971, women's wear under the Polo brand, taking its name and horse-and-rider logo from the sport of polo to evoke an aspirational, preppy American lifestyle. Ralph Lauren Corporation today sells apparel, accessories, fragrances, and home goods across several brand tiers, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, and Lauren Ralph Lauren, distinguished mainly by price point and formality.
