Ralph Lauren was born Ralph Lifshitz (I don't think any of us question him changing his name - don't say you wouldn't do the same) in 1939. He is an American fashion designer, owner of the  Ralph Lauren Corporation clothing company, one of the biggest, most valuable brands on planet Earth. Mr. Lauren stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of the company in September 2015, but he still remains the Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer.

Let's also not forget that he is the 155th richest person in the world.

After being in the military, he became a salesperson for Brooks Brothers, and then became the sales assistant at a tie company. At the age of 26, he was really inspired to make a wider, European-style necktie, but the company did not support his idea, so he quit and made his own company, worked from a drawer, basically, until Neimann Marcus found him, and ordered 1200 pieces of his tie. SUCCESS STORY!

The Designer Bible - Part 73.-Phoebe Philo

Philo was born (1973) to British parents working in Paris.  

Phoebe Philo’s work at Céline has redefined what women aspire to wear. Her minimalist aesthetic, clean lines and tonal colour palette has come to be regarded as the epitome of chic. Consistently name checked by fashion insiders as the label they want to wear, Philo has successfully resuscitated a tired Parisian house and recast it as an imperative part of each season’s fashion dialogue.

The elegant and publicity wary designer studied at Central St Martins, before joining her friend Stella McCartney at Chloé as her first assistant  in 1997.

Ennek következtében Paul hat hónapot töltött kórházban, ahol rengeteg barátot szerzett. Az új barátokkal a kórházból kikerülve is tartotta a kapcsolatot, általában egy helyi kocsmában találkoztak, ahova rengeteg művész járt. Paul Smith itt került kapcsolatba először a művészetekkel.
 Két év múlva pedig, akkor még csak barátnője, ma már a felesége, Pauline Denyer segítségével megnyitotta első butikját, estin pedig elkezdett szabászatot tanulni.
