Fashion History
Ralph Lauren founded RRL in 1993, naming the label after his Double RL ranch in Colorado. The brand emerged as a response to the designer's personal interest in vintage clothing and rugged utility. It played a significant role in the late 20th-century heritage movement, prioritizing traditional manufacturing techniques over mass production. RRL remains a cornerstone of the workwear revival, influencing contemporary fashion by documenting and reproducing historical American silhouettes and textiles.
