If any of you have been alive for the last 30 or so years, than you have definitely heard of Ralph Lipshitz brand that has been the leading sportswear brand for many years. Ralph Lipshitz is known in the public eye as Ralph Lauren. Even though he is one of the greatest fashion designers to ever live he never attended fashion school or received any kind of formal training, but did go to city college for two years and called it quits when the college life wasn’t what he expected.
By 1997 Ralph Laurens Polo was selling more than $5 billion in clothes yearly and his estimated net worth is around $1billion. In the same year he decided to take his company public to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which proved to be a smart move for his business.

whats in a name?
Well this article could probably read like this……”By 1997 Ralph Lipshitz was selling less than $5 hundred in clothes yearly and his estimated net worth is around $1 hundred. In the same year he decided to launch “Lipshitz” Chocolate colored lipstick, which proved to be the worst move in fashion history.”
I think the name Lipshitz is actually pretty cool, no one would ever forget it, but i can see why it would have been a concern back when he was getting things started hustling narrow ties.
