Polo Ralph Lauren continues to be a leader in the fashion industry more than 50 years after emerging from humble beginnings. Ralph Lifshitz, poor Jewish immigrant from Bronx, New York, was a former employee of Alexander’s department store and a former employee of BrooksBrothers.com. He had no idea how successful his fashion line would be, starting out from the very beginning of creating ties out of a dresser drawer. With a visionary mindset and unparalleled faith where he desired his business to go, he moved forward by doing the transformation business work out of inspiration or desperation, experiencing countless trials and tribulations before embracing larger than life success.
Long after launching his successful Polo.com fashion line since 1967, two local neighborhood fashion gangs from Marcus Garvey Village apartment complex in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York and heads from St. John’s and Utica in Crown Heights (MGV & SJP), Brooklyn came together and formed a clan, known as the infamous Lo-Lifes.com. Since 1988, they indirectly made the Polo Ralph Lauren brand larger-than-life, by shoplifting Polo authentic drive fashion goods from famous department stores such as Macys.com, LordandTaylor.com, FilenesBasement.com, SaksFifthAvenue.com, Bloomingdales.com, KingsPlaza.com shopping mall, and many other fine department stores. While the Brooklyn crews united together for the purpose of shoplifting Polo Ralph Lauren clothing and temporarily created a financial debt in Ralph Lauren’s net income potential, they directly proved to everyone just how valuable Polo Ralph Lauren clothing truly is. And because the Brooklyn shoplifting crews consistently “boosted” Ralph Lauren’s clothing, Ralph got richer because of them. How? The Brooklyn-based shoplifters known as the Lo Lives, Ralphie’s kids , a.k.a. United Shoplifters Association became virtual walking billboard advertisements for the Polo Ralph Lauren brand. In turn, this allegedly inspired wealthy people to consider purchasing more clothing from Polo, making Ralph “richer than rich.”
When 1992 came around, Ralph Lauren released the infamous “polo stadium 1992” Olympic classic fashion line. Lo heads in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island went absolutely bonkers. Not only did they put their shoplifting skills in overdrive, but they boosted-shoplifted [polo stadium 1992] fashion clothing so hard in overdrive that it subliminally made the polo stadium 1992 fashion line a more valuable vintage line of pastime clothing. The result? Leaving people thirsting for “polo stadium vintage classic pieces from the 1990s,” driving up the original cost of the polo stadium 1992 classic line. 1992 was the year that Ralph Lauren earned his first Olympic clothing contract in creating and distributing polo Ralph Lauren clothing to Olympic athletes. Brooklyn polo heads and others throughout New York City, to this very day, quietly scour thrift stores and network through friends for favorite pastime 1992 polo pieces.
Word got back to Ralph not just former Brooklyn Lo Life shoplifters, but honest paying consumers, allegedly scoured throughout New York City and other parts of the United States for vintage polo pieces from the 1990s. After Ralph got the word that people still love pieces from the 1990s, he came up with a fantastic idea to partner with a vintage polo resale company known as Depop.com. DePop is in the business of reselling quality vintage Ralph Lauren Polo pieces from the 1990s into the early 2000s at affordable prices.
