A year later, the New York native expanded Polo from ties to a full menswear collection, offering classic American designs in fresh fabrications. In 1970, the designer reached another milestone and this time it was at Bloomingdale's, with the introduction of the first-ever in-store boutique dedicated to a single designer (even before Ralph Lauren itself had a freestanding store). Today the influence of Polo Ralph Lauren is unmistakable. With an instantly recognizable logo and a tradition of crafting luxurious designs rooted in American style, the brand is beloved around the world for its timeless sportswear and impeccable tailoring.
