The fashion icon shares insights about his life and work on the eve of the upcoming HBO documentary 'Very Ralph': 'When I started designing, it was never about just the tie, it was about the hero.'
Not escapism. The films of those eras, mostly in black and white, had a romance and a real glamour that I found inspiring. The men and women had such style. The way they dressed was so thoughtfully presented. Particularly the evening clothes. Maybe that’s why I had to create my own special set — Ralph’s Club — for my last fall 2019 women’s collection, which was all about the art of black tie dressing. I couldn’t find a location that expressed the story I was trying to tell.
Ralph’s Club was a combination of the vision of my collection [and] a vision of what I felt was missing in the world right now. There are so many negatives and so much pressure that people find it hard to relax and enjoy themselves. Ralph’s Club was about getting dressed up and wearing something that you love that makes you feel good and then going to a place that lifts you up for that moment.
In the documentary, Ken Burns says, "In another era, [you] would have been one of the great producers in Hollywood" and Tina Brown shares, "I think if Ralph has one regret, it would be that he was not a movie director." Do you agree? Is there a film you dream of making? Clothes are essential to our lives, but it’s up to the individual to decide how important they are to them. In a more disposable world, we should consider the importance of our relationships to each other and saving our planet.
