It is a sunny August afternoon in Hong Kong's Kennedy Town, and I am lost. Despite being less than a mile from home, I have never been to this part of the neighborhood. I had Yeung Tong-lung's address scribbled on a scrap of paper: 1J Sands Street. But pacing between Catchick and Belcher's Streets only got me as far as 1C.

No, the day that really matters if you want to party for Mexican liberty is Septiembre Diez y Seis - or Sept 16 in gringoland.

The world of Ralph Lauren keeps getting bigger and more distinctive, a strategy that is positioning the company to continue its growth spiral. In a recent walk-through of the spring collection at his New York offices, Lauren expressed optimism that his company, which this month posted a 52.4 percent jump in first-quarter profits, will maintain its strong showing in the future. "We have a lot of international growth (ahead of us)," he said. "It's not just about the store on the corner in New Jersey anymore; it's the world." Lauren noted that whether in Brazil, Asia or Europe, the company's ability to target a wide range of shoppers with its varying labels - everything from the luxury-level Purple Label to the more-democratic Polo line, as well as Double RL sportswear and RLX activewear - allows it to operate "on the main street or a hip side street."
