PARTY HAS JUST BEGUN

Ralph Lauren celebrates 50 years of his business with a retrospective of his iconic collections, Wang Linyan reports in New York.

Manhattan's Central Park became the stage for a star-studded gala on Sept 7 as iconic American fashion designer Ralph Lauren celebrated his company's 50th anniversary.

For the first time Lauren shared a complete panorama of his collections at one event - his women's collections, men's Double RL range and his Polo Ralph Lauren collections - to celebrate the character and beauty of the themes that inspired him over the last half a century.
