The Coffee Table Book That Tells The Story Of American Style.

Charmed House Interiors · Books

Ralph Lauren: 50 Years is the definitive retrospective of one of the most influential designers of the modern era — half a century of polo shirts, prairie dresses, tailored suiting, and the all-American mood Lauren made his own. The cover is iconic in itself: a sepia portrait of Ralph on horseback in a shearling-collared canvas coat and cowboy hat, his signature scrawled in vivid red across the bottom. A weighty, hardbound tribute that doubles as a piece of décor.

Less a book about fashion, more a portrait of a lifestyle.

Two Ways to Style It

On the leather ottoman, in a panelled study. Lay it flat under a tortoiseshell magnifying glass and a small brass horse figurine, with a glass of bourbon close by.

On the dressing room shelf, near the wardrobe. Stand it spine-out beside a stack of fashion monographs with a vintage equestrian print leaning in front.
