26 • Ralph Lauren, Designer

Exactly 25 years ago, Met Home profiled the launch of Ralph Lauren's home-furnishings collection. In 2007, Ralph Lauren Home was a $390 million business, by far the most successful of all fashion-company crossovers to home furnishings. "When I started my company over four decades ago," Lauren says, "I thought about what I wanted to wear and how I liked to see my wife dress. Branching out into interiors, taking inspiration from what I wanted in my own homes, was just a natural progression." His extensive line now includes bed and bath linens, decorative accessories and fine tableware as well as lighting, furniture, fabrics and wall coverings (RalphLaurenHome.com). -- Arlene Hirst
