Mr Porter has made happy friends with classic American style thanks to Ralph Lauren. The leading American fashion house has collaborated with the online men’s retailer for an exclusive capsule collection that is available at Mr Porter and global flagship Ralph Lauren stores. The exclusive launch celebrates the 50th anniversary of Ralph Lauren’s debut menswear collection in 1968.

Spanning 83 pieces, the exclusive collection encompasses styles from three of Ralph Lauren’s renowned Polo Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, and RRL. This is Ralph Lauren’s first exclusive capsule collection across all three brands. The special collection consists of ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear. It draws inspiration from Ralph Lauren’s extensive archive over the past 50 years and celebrates some of its best and most iconic pieces. 48 pieces came from Polo Ralph lauren, 19 from Purple Label, and 16 from RRL.

“Anyone with even a small interest in men’s clothing will appreciate the giant influence that Mr. Ralph Lauren has made to the way men dress today,” said Toby Bateman, managing director of Mr Porter. “Known for defining American style, his collections resonate around the world with a diverse group of people, from kids who wear it as streetwear to company execs in chalk striped suits – and everyone in between. This unique collection reflects the DNA of each of the Ralph Lauren brands - Polo, RRL and Purple Label – and takes direct inspiration from the archives. We are proud to be part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations by presenting our customers with this special collaboration.”

“I’ve always believed one could live many lives through the way we dress,” said Ralph Lauren. “This collection reflects many of my inspirations and offers different ways of self-expression. The world is open to us, and each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves.”
