With an uncanny ability to turn his dreams into reality, Ralph Lauren has built a multi-billion-dollar, global powerhouse out of his aspirations, becoming a living embodiment of the American Dream. For more than 50 years, he has celebrated the iconography of America and defined American style. In Very Ralph, as he enters his sixth decade in business, Lauren reflects on his journey from a boy from the Bronx who didn’t know what a fashion designer was, to becoming the emblem of American style all around the world. The film features archives from 50 years of his fashion brand, as well as revealing interviews with Lauren’s family, colleagues, and a who’s who of American fashion leaders.

Susan Lacy is the creator and former executive producer of the celebrated WNET series American Masters and the founder of Pentimento Productions in 2013. She has won countless Emmy, Peabody and other industry awards, and has produced and directed a broad library of acclaimed films exploring the lives of America’s most enduring cultural icons.
