This special volume details the evolution of the renowned designer's influence on interiors and the way we live. Discover how Lauren seamlessly blends fashion and the home with a visual timeline of his remarkable history within the lifestyle arena." --VERANDA "A huge range of styles are displayed here, from the couple's minimalist white apartment on Central Park to the antler-clad getaway in the Rockies. Each is perfectly curated, down to how the blue-velvet settee in a Bedford sitting room plays off the green felt of the pool table. "Our homes are a canvas for living," Lauren writes. And he has filled them artfully. Aristocratic layering is a guiding principle of his interiors -- never too many tartan blankets -- but any time the color and pattern threaten to riot, wooden antiques and crackled-leather furniture keep it earthy and grounded." ~1st Dibs "Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the company's home collection, the book includes a visual time line of its countless innovations as well as a detailed look at all the places from which Lauren gains inspiration, including his own homes. Also included is a collection of personal essays, written by the designer himself, and quotes from Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and architecture critic Paul Goldberger." ~Airmail "Published on the 40th anniversary of Ralph Lauren Home, the volume bothsurveys the designer's own abodes andchronicles the evolution of his trailblazinglifestyle brand--launched in 1983as a furnishings extension to his fashionempire.

With his shapeshifting, canny retakes on tradition, Lauren has long set the trends on how we dress, live, and head out on the town. This year marks four decades since Lauren galloped his way into the home sphere--one of the first major fashion designers to do so.His new book...celebrates 40 years of design. The book is the first dedicated to Lauren's focus on lifestyle and makes the case that his influence has been as profound in the home sphere as it has been in fashion." ~ Elle Decor "The centerpiece of the bookis the exclusive look into Lauren's impeccably designed privateresidences, where he shares his life with his family. From his expansive ranch in Colorado to his tranquil island retreat inJamaica, his idyllic beach house in Montauk, the cosmopolitan allure of his Manhattan penthouse, and the rustic charm of his country estate in Bedford, each of these homes serves as a testament to Lauren's unique vision of modern living. The visual journey through these residences is followed by a celebration of Ralph Lauren's lifestyle collections." ~Quest "Who doesn't want to live in a Ralph Lauren store? The genius designer is known for his sophisticated, classic interiors almost as much as his iconic clothing.
