RL

I'm an American purist. I unabashedly drive a Ford; drink Bud Light, Dunkin Donuts coffee & original Coke; wear old 501's & my grandmother's charm bracelet; and love McDonald's fries. And these preferences influence every bit of my design esthetic. I prefer vintage to new, originals to knock-offs, American to Euro.

So given my (lack of?) world view, I guess it's not surprising I once worked for Ralph Lauren. And when he finally succumbed and introduced a mass market line, I was emphatically not a fan. Diluting the essence of Ralph, I said. But recently I've been eating words. Whole sentences, in fact. I found these 'mass market' pieces and think they're amazing. And at prices way more reasonable than Ralph Lauren Home, they make great adds to a beach house or ski condo.
