I couldn't afford his clothing, but I'll thank him forever for my favorite fragrance "Opium". For me, there is no other.

A fragile fellow.
he did single handedly save Dior from ruin
he was a dandy on the 54 cicuit as i recall, hobnobbing with Liza, Lauren, Truman and Andy etc.
prolly attended Truman’s famous black-white ball too

In a time when so many guys dress like slobs, Ralph reminded some guys of how a MAN dresses. So, RIP.

Not “Ralph Lauren.” It’s “Yves St. Laurent.”
