These two men, Ralph Rueben Lifshitz (aka Ralph Lauren, the one in the picture) and Calvin Richard Klein, have to be two of the best Male Designers. These two men were both raised in the Bronx of New York City and grew up to become... awesome?? I dont think I can really come up with a word to describe these two, but they were beyond extraordinary. You have to give them credit for where they came from and for what they have accomplished. They both have SOMEWHAT similar designs and they both are astonishing. I cant go into full detail of their history but these men arent perfect.
Ralph Lauren went to college and studied business for two years and then dropped out. He then served two years in the United States Army. He gained experience in the fashion industry by landing a job as a salesman. He then opened up a Neck-tie store under his designs and grew to be a Billion dollar business.
Calvin Klein attended the High School of Industrial Art but never graduated. He didnt give up there. He then attended FIT (The Fashion Institute of Technology) and graduated with a Honorary Doctorate. Full of knowledge, Calvin Klein obtained an apprenticeship and designed for New York shops. Later he opened his business with a friend and it just grew from there.
These two men's stories goes to show that if you really want it, you can have it.
