I just found this coffee table book at a local yard sale in the neighborhood. I was elated. I sat down this past weekend and just devoured Ralph Lauren's words. The pictures and content about his life and his work are so inspiring.

I LOVED his vision and have included it below along with some of my favorite photographs from the book.

Ralph Lauren quotes: "My vision continues to be as it was in the beginning. It hasn't changed.

I am inspired by the movement and the rhythm of the seasons, by the search for newness, the diversity and breadth of possibilities, of what someone could like in a variety of worlds.

I love the challenge of contradiction. I love glamour. I love rusticity. I love utility. I love the street. I love activity. I love all these things that formed my taste, and how I see men, woman, and the family.

I love living and dressing for the occasion. I love dressing down. I like dressing up. I like the fun of what life is about, the fun of clothes, not the status of fashion.

I've always believed one could live many lives through the way we dress and the places we travel to, even if just in our imagination. The world is open to us, and each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves.

What I do is about living. It's about living the best life you can and enjoying the fullness of the life around you - from what you wear, to the way you live, to the way you love." - Ralph Lauren

"My eyes are on my life. They are my own private camera. I extend all the experience from my private life into my work, because living is my library. " - Ralph Lauren

I love Ralph Lauren's vision and felt a complete connection to his work by hearing what inspires him in life. I enjoyed reading about how he incorporates his personal life experiences, his travels, his family, etc. and how that flows over into his creative designs. The two definitely go hand in hand.
