I feel complete. You know those nights where you feel like you’re having a wonderful dream?—RALPH LAUREN


If you called central casting and said, “Find me a great New Yorker,” they would send Ralph Lauren.—MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, IN A TOAST TO LAUREN.

My dress is actually Ralph and Dylan Lauren. I changed my father’s design. I asked for ruffles on the shoulders. Then later I went into the studio and everything had ruffles, so I must have been on to something.—DYLAN LAUREN

Ralph lives next door to me in Bedford, and every time he stays there, I hear a car zoom, zoom, zoom down the road. And it’s always a different car. That’s Ralph. —MARTHA STEWART
