   / @thegoldenfounders   0:00 From the Bronx to Buckingham Palace 1:21 Ralph Lauren's family and early life 2:28 The cinema and the birth of his style 4:57 Changing his name and reinventing himself 7:52 The wide ties that launched Polo 13:26 Building the Ralph Lauren world 22:28 The crisis that tested the empire 26:08 The knighthood and Ralph Lauren's legacy Watch how a poor boy from the Bronx reinvented himself, built a global fashion empire, and became Ralph Lauren, KBE. I trace Ralph Lauren's journey from a cramped childhood and dark cinema seats to wide ties, the Polo brand, and a refusal that changed his entire career. I also explore how he transformed an imagined Britain into a world of clothing, homes, shops, and lasting style. I follow the crises that nearly broke his company, his work against cancer, and the remarkable path that led to Buckingham Palace and an honorary knighthood from Britain.
