American fashion icon Ralph Lauren is the subject of a new documentary from HBO later this year. Very Ralph is the first official feature length film about 79-year-old, whose famous mens brand, Polo, first debut in 1968.
Directed and produced by award-winning documentarian Susan Lacy, the film chronicles Lauren’s six decades in the fashion industry and takes a look at the man behind behind the brand, with Lauren speaking candidly on his personal life. Discussing his upbringing in the Bronx, his five-decade-long marriage, the brand’s early struggles, his innovative advertising techniques and the longevity of Polo, Very Ralph is an in-depth look at who Lauren really is.
