Quote

I’ve always been about style for people, not ‘You’re going to wear this outfit,’... It was the way you put yourself together and the imagination, not buying this number off the rack, but the way you wear it

I'm interested in longevity, timelessness, style - not fashion.

We all get report cards in many different ways, but the real excitement of what you're doing is in the doing of it. It's not what you're gonna get in the end - it's not the final curtain - it's really in the doing it, and loving what you're doing.

It's the kind of clothes that mothers and daughters can wear, in terms of concept... It's not about age. It's about taste, and it's about lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything.

Love the fun of clothes, not the status of fashion.

Personal style is about taking a risk, trying something unexpected, and having fun with fashion, but always being true to yourself.

I have always been drawn to the beauty of things designed to function. Mixing technical pieces with more traditional prints and patterns creates not only a quality experience, but a look that is unique, and for me, very exciting.

People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.

When you're a kid, you think you can jump out the window and be okay. But when you get older, you think, Wait a minute - I can't fly!

We're making a major move of the Internet, and runway. Polo.com is a natural extension of both polo.com and our collection business.

I try to find people who love and believe in what I do - and people I can respect because they do what I don't do. I've had to bring in financial people and put them in positions where they could tell me, Ralph, let's not do that.

My life has been a dream. If someone had to write a story about it, it would seem a little unreal. It's the kind of story I would read and say, 'Nah, that's not possible.'

Enjoy your family. Do things that you like to do. Stay strong. That's the secret to remaining happy.

My wife Ricky is my muse. Her personal style and natural beauty have always been my inspiration.

Every time I design clothes, I'm making a movie.

I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim. Some women think that if the look this season is minis, they have to wear minis. If you don't have great legs, there are plenty of alternatives.

I went through the extremes of amazing notoriety and also the dreaded things that you never thought you'd have to live through. Not everything works the way you want it to, but if I sit back and think, 'Am I happy about this?' Yeah. I wouldn't have done anything any better.
