Very Ralph

An informative look about a dude who built an empire around nice but very pedestrian clothes

Chic, classic, simplicit, modern: Ralph Lauren. A pleasant documentary about the infamous designer. Worth a watch for any fashion aficionado.

A polished story on how a guy from The Bronx with his own sense of style beat the odds to find fame and fortune.

Even entering his 80s, Ralph himself seems amazed by how his knack for fashion could lead to such massive success.

I found the first 40 minutes or so quite interesting, then it became repetitive and overly long.

Quite interesting but it could of been edited down a bit.

What ANNOYED me (even made me angry) where they put in a segment about 'poor kids' justifying their stealing/boosting Ralph Lauren clothes from stores.

Why did the producers of this documentary print this? The guy speaking about his (and his gang's) theft was proud of his actions. As if he and his buddies had a right to steal what they did not work for.

Do NOT show any kind of support for Common Criminals and their actions. Clothes are expensive enough. I would not give any 'equal time' to people that justify their theft that in the long run forces prices up. Most of us know that theft causes insurance rates to go up and the cost of products to go up.

This documentary is shot like a glossy, which is quite ironic. All types of hotshots tell us how great Ralph is. His career and achievements are nonetheless fascinating.
