Tyler Mitchell Shoots Ralph Lauren Pre-Fall 2025 Campaign | AOC Talks Values

We’re living in a moment of small victories,and surely photographer Tyler Mitchell [IG] feels great pride — and his family even moreso — over Mitchell shooting the Ralph Lauren [IG] Pre-Fall 2025 Campaign. Ralph Lauren carries great symbolism and respect in the Black community.

Ralph Lauren 2024/25 Business Results

The top leadership got big raises coming off an excellent 2024 performance that resulted in a 16.8 percent increase in the stock price for the year ending March 31.

Since March 31, the stock has risen another 20 percent.

Ralph Lauren’s Strong in China

Like Hermès, Brunello Cucinelli, and Prada, Ralph Lauren’s Asia business is very strong.

In China Ralph Lauren saw 20 percent growth in China in their 4th quarter ending March 2025.

Louvet has definite opinions about why the business is strong in China:

It’s important to keep in mind that Ralph founded this company on values that are pretty universal: optimism, authenticity, timelessness, elegance, family. Those are globally relevant and are resonating wherever we play, including markets where you might be concerned about anti-American sentiment.

The Spring 2025 Ralph Lauren Campaign Is One Young Americans Can Trust

The Spring 2025 Ralph Lauren Campaign Is One Young Americans Can Trust

The Spring 2025 Ralph Lauren Campaign Is One Young Americans Can Trust

Last September, New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 opened in a rather surprising location, casually called the East End by New Yorkers.

It was a quintessential Ralph Lauren experience — an ultimate, middle class guy makes good, American experience. They are in short supply these days, but Ralph Lauren should start a young mens academy for today’s young men so impacted by him.

In Virginia, Ralph Is the Man

After the disappointing 2024 presidential election in America, I cast my focus to work with young men in Virginia, who had voted for Trump. The group can be mixed, but it must have young male Trump voters.

For those young men — Latino, Black and White — Ralph Lauren is their hero. A mix of college men and young business owners, they stunned me with their breath of knowledge about marketing. They also know Louis Vuitton inside out, and Pharrell’s role there.

Ralph Lauren Vintage Collection in Family Style 004 Winter 2024/2025 by Bob Jugger

Family Style magazine’s approach to content is the cultivation of a quarterly dinner party involving voices and creative personalities in food, fashion and culture.

Designer Ralph Lauren has long been at the center of this still escalating trend of branded dinner parties. Polo Bar, Ralph Lauren’s first New York City restaurant, opened a few steps east of his company’s flagship store at Fifth Avenue and 55th Street a decade ago.

In late December 2024, AOC noted that Moncler’s Italian billionaire CEO Remo Ruffini expressed great admiration for all that Ralph Lauren has achieved with graciousness and style. Ruffini called out Ralph's Coffee, the café attached to the flagship on the corner of Old Bond Street and Burlington Gardens.

Polo Ralph Lauren’s FW 2024 Campaign celebrated ‘Ralph’s New York’ in an emotional and heartfelt way. The campaign featured items from the growing Ralph Lauren Vintage Collection.

Today, these Ralph Lauren Vintage Collection pieces have made their way to Family Style Magazine 004 Winter 2024/2025.

Polo Ralph Lauren FW 2024 'Ralph's New York' Campaign by Lachlan Bailey

Polo Ralph Lauren [IG] returns to home base for its Fall 2024 campaign. New York is the city that launched Ralph and his men’s ties, made by Beau Brummell, in 1967. Menswear followed shortly, launched in 1968.

New York City is deeply embedded in Ralph Lauren’s brand DNA.

All of these sentiments and many more infuse the new Polo Ralph Lauren campaign lensed by Lachlan Bailey [IG], with film produced by Jacob Sutton.

Ralph Lauren Vintage

The campaign also includes items from the Ralph Lauren Vintage Collection, available for the first time in September 2024 on its e-commerce site and in select stores around the world.

Excellent Holiday 2023 Performance at Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren reported its third quarter sales — which include holiday 2023 — on February 8, 2024. The results put Ralph Lauren in LVMH territory, with their organic revenue growth of 10%, and not Kering Group, who reported a 5% holiday sales decrease.

Polo Ralph Lauren Fall 2023 Campaign by Richard Phibbs | AOC on Color Barriers in Education

Polo Ralph Lauren Fall 2023 Campaign by Richard Phibbs | AOC on Color Barriers in Education

As an American — and long before I launched Anne of Carversville in 2007 — Ralph Lauren represented the American dream to me. Lauren has successfully woven America’s stories into the very fabric of his brand, creating a unique narrative like no other American designer.

Today, an older, wiser, and a more empathetic Ralph Lauren stands at the crossroads of American democracy. In the same moment, I am pouring over the details of American history on a daily basis and grabbing every creative opportunity to talk about them.

When you put Polo Ralph Lauren together with Richard Phibbs [IG] as photographer, Anne’s day is derailed as I decide what to write. Poor Phibbs. He always inspires deep thinking at AOC.

AOC totally supports taking some liberties with campaign visuals, but I also sense an obligation for AOC to share facts of history along the way. Ralph Lauren has mastered this art of visual inclusivity and Richard Phibbs has some of the keenest instincts I know about when taking this path of “how history could have been if only there were more of us and fewer of them.”

Ralph Lauren's 2023 US Open Collection Is Courtside August 28 in Queens/NYC

Ralph Lauren's 2023 US Open Collection Is Courtside August 28 in Queens/NYC

Ralph Lauren’s 2023 US Open collection is courtside on Monday, August 28 thru Sunday September 10 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.

Skirts and/or Shorts for the Ball Crew

Ball girls made their debut at the US Open in 1977, an encouraging factoid until you learn that ball girls first ‘worked Wimbledon’ in 1920.

Ah yes. It’s a long road to women’s emancipation, even when you’re chasing balls around the tennis court in a grand slam event.

AOC finds the French much more emancipated for women than America these days. But the French Open didn’t get ball girls until 1984; and the Australian Open was also in the early 1980s.

Ralph Lauren, Team USA and the Road to Paris 2024

AOC expects LVMH to help deliver another spectacle for the ages, as a premium partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

I’m not sure how they will top the June 20, 2023 Pharrell Williams debut for Louis Vuitton Men — a night that rocked Paris with sounds of ‘Joy’.

Ralph Lauren will again be outfitting Team USA for the Paris 2024 games— giving us two global citizens companies, who share Anne of Carversville’s values.

Ralph Lauren Details Global Citizenship and Sustainability Initiatives

Ralph Lauren Details Global Citizenship and Sustainability Initiatives

For Ralph Lauren’s exciting achievements in committing to the Cradle to Cradle Certified Gold Cashmere Sweater, coupled with other significant achievements in sustainable materials and products, Ralph Lauren earned a prime spot on Fast Company’s 2023 Top 10 list of the most 540 most innovative companies in North America, across all sectors.

Ralph Lauren redesigned its signature cashmere sweaters to receive certification from Cradle to Cradle, a nonprofit that helped the company meet C2C’s standards for using safe materials, employing fair labor practices, and enabling the garment to be recycled into a new one.

The full 2023 Ralph Lauren Global Citizenship & Sustainability Report and ESG Supplement are available for download on the Company’s website. AOC is reading the report and feels compelled to cite more calls-to-action for the Ralph Lauren Corporation beyond the press release.

The support by Ralph Lauren brands of HBCUs and especially Morehouse and Spelman Colleges continues at an accelerated level. Equally impressive is an accelerated commitment to indigenous communities in America. Of all the severely-impacted humans who have been part of the glorious American experiment, indigenous peoples have experienced the dark side of American excellence and high standards.

Ralph Lauren Polo Originals Fall 2022 Classics for Woke Humans by Richard Phibbs

Ralph Lauren Polo Originals Fall 2022 Classics for Woke Humans by Richard Phibbs

A breeze is blowing through fashion collections and marketing as humans adjust to pre-pandemic life. Not that reality is faraway, mind you, or that a decade of streetwear’s dominance is over.

Coincidentally, posting images of the just launched on September 15 Polo Originals collection by Ralph Lauren comes on the heels of sharing incredibly-glamorous images of the spring 2023 glamorous Schiaparelli collection.

I can imagine critics calling the Ralph Lauren Polo Originals campaign a celebration of robber baron wealth. Photographer Richard Phibbs [IG] made harmonious artistry out of these images starring Hamid Onifade, Hugh Laughton-Scott, Kit Butler, Rishi Robin.

To me, I see a modern, honoring nod to traditions and classics — to wellmade clothes that are designed to last.
